DEQ said elevated levels of ozone could put pollutants into the unhealthy range for some groups.

Cleaner air is expected Sunday and "good" air quality is forecast, the DEQ said. On Monday, winds may change back to a southerly direction possibly allowing pollution levels to reach the "moderate" level, but higher levels are not expected at this time.

 When air quality warnings are in effect, active children and adults, and people with respiratory diseases such as asthma, are encouraged to limit prolonged outdoor exertion.

After a steamy Saturday with heat indices in the upper 90s across the area Saturday, Michiganders can expect near perfect weather on Sunday, with a high near 75 and a north wind around 11 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph, the National Weather Service said.
