CLARK COUNTY (KTNV) — The Clark County Department of Environment & Sustainability (CCDES) said locals should expect wildfire smoke from California to move into the valley on Tuesday and over the next few days.
CCDES said the blown-in smoke will push ozone levels to unhealthy levels for those with respiratory issues and sensitivities. They said to minimize your time outdoors if you are among these groups.
