It is the second day in a row for air quality alerts in southwestern Connecticut. 

An air quality action day means that ground level ozone in the coastal region may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. Active children and adults, and people with respiratory disease, such as asthma, should limit prolonged outdoor exertion, the department warned.

Respiratory symptoms and breathing discomfort are increasing likely in active children and adults with respiratory disease, such as asthma, under such conditions.

Saturday will be sunny, with a high near 82 and calm winds, according to the National Weather Service. Patchy fog is possible overnight with a low of 61 degrees. Sunday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 87.
