The alert is the first issued in 2023 by the air district for smog, otherwise known as ozone. Light winds and warm temperatures are expected to combine with motor vehicle exhaust to create unhealthy air quality.

Friday will also be warm, but temperatures will be a bit cooler compared to Thursday, according to the weather service.
