The air quality in the Carolinas is so poor Wednesday that officials have issued a Code Red, a type of air quality alert that encourages everyone to consider limiting prolonged exposure outside. Those especially sensitive to air pollution, including people with asthma, should avoid outdoor exercise altogether.

The Carolina Weather Group's James Brierton discusses the poor air quality, and the weather pattern making this possible, with WCNC Charlotte Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich.
