AIR QUALITY HEALTH ADVISORY ISSUED FOR CENTRAL NEW YORK, WESTERN NEW YORK REGIONS

 

Advisory In Effect for Sunday, July 19, 2026

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Amanda Lefton and State Department of Health (DOH) Commissioner Dr. James McDonald issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for fine particulate matter for Sunday, July 19, 2026, due to the impact of smoke from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota. The advisory is as follows:

• The Western New York and Central New York Regions are forecast to reach Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.

The pollutant of concern is: Fine Particulate Matter

The advisory will be in effect:?12 a.m. until 11:59 p.m.  

The Air Quality Health Advisory regions consist of: Central New York which includes Allegany, Broome, southern Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, southern Herkimer, Livingston, Madison, Onondaga, Oneida, Ontario, Otsego, Tioga, Tompkins, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, and Yates counties; and Western New York which includes Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, and Wyoming counties.

Smoke causing temporary spikes of unhealthy air may affect other regions, including New York City and Long Island, as the plume moves across the state on Sunday. DEC and DOH will be closely monitoring conditions to make any necessary changes to advisories.

DEC and DOH issue Air Quality Health Advisories when DEC meteorologists predict levels of pollution, either ozone or fine particulate matter (PM2.5), are expected to exceed an Air Quality Index (AQI) value of 100. The AQI was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale, with a higher AQI value indicating a greater health concern.

Fine Particulate Matter

Fine particulate matter (PM) consists of tiny solid particles or liquid droplets in the air that are 2.5 microns or less in diameter. PM 2.5 can be made of many different types of particles and often come from processes that involve combustion (e.g., vehicle exhaust, power plants, and fires) and from chemical reactions in the atmosphere.

Exposure can cause short-term health effects, such as irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and shortness of breath. Exposure to elevated levels of fine particulate matter can also worsen medical conditions such as heart disease and asthma. People with heart or breathing problems, older adults, children and teens, pregnant people, and those who exercise or work outdoors may be particularly sensitive to PM 2.5.

When outdoor levels are elevated, going indoors may reduce exposure. If there are significant indoor sources of PM 2.5 (tobacco, candle or incense smoke, or fumes from cooking) levels inside may not be lower than outside. Some ways to reduce exposure are to minimize outdoor and indoor sources and avoid strenuous activities in areas where fine particle concentrations are high.

Additional information on PM 2.5 is available on DEC's website and on DOH's website (PM 2.5). A DEC fact sheet about the Air Quality Index is available on DEC’s website or by PDF download.  

To stay up-to-date with announcements from DEC, sign up to receive Air Quality Alerts through DEC Delivers: DEC's Premier Email Service. A toll-free Air Quality Hotline (1-800-535-1345) was also established by DEC to keep New Yorkers informed of the latest air quality situation. 

Office of the New York State Comptroller DiNapoli - This Week: NYC Hotel Industry Among Nation's Strongest

 

NYC Hotel Industry Among Nation’s Strongest

New York City’s hotel industry is one of the nation’s strongest, with high demand for rooms led by a surge in domestic visitors, but it remains vulnerable to changes in tourism and the continued loss of international travelers due to geopolitical instability, according to a new report by Comptroller DiNapoli.

“The city’s hotel industry has largely recovered from the pandemic. It is doing well, but it could be doing even better if international visitors returned more quickly,” DiNapoli said. “Federal policies on trade and immigration, and other domestic and global geopolitical issues, are keeping some tourists away. Despite the challenges, we expect the sector to continue to grow, but a complete recovery requires a return of international visitors and increased employment to keep up with demand.”

Q1 Business Tax Receipts Drive Higher Collections 

State tax receipts totaled $37.2 billion through the first quarter of State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2027, $2.4 billion higher than the state Division of the Budget estimated in the SFY 2027 Enacted Budget Financial Plan. State tax collections were also $4 billion higher than the first quarter of 2025, according to the monthly state cash report released by Comptroller DiNapoli.

“Tax collections for the state were higher than projected, primarily reflecting strong business tax collections,” DiNapoli said. “However, caution is warranted as geopolitical conflicts and changing trade policies have contributed to higher inflation, financial market volatility, and slowing employment growth.”

WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Child Sex Traffickers, Sexual Predators, and Drug Traffickers

Despite a 1,300% increase in assaults against them, ICE is working 24/7 to remove the worst of the worst from our communities 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country, convicted of horrific crimes including human trafficking of a minor for commercial sex act, rape with force/violence, and possession with intent to distribute a schedule I/II narcotic.

“ICE arrested child sex traffickers, violent sexual predators, drug traffickers, and other public safety threats who have no business remaining in our country,” said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Sanctuary politicians’ anti-ICE rhetoric has contributed to our officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. Despite these smears, ICE will continue to get criminals off our streets. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS is putting Americans first.”

The arrests include:

Juan Manuel Curiel-Banuelos, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for human trafficking of a minor for commercial sex act in Ventura, California.

Nalesh Prasad, a criminal illegal alien from Fiji, convicted for rape with force/violence in Sacramento, California.

Miguel Munoz-Lara, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for attempted forcible sodomy and forcible sexual abuse in Salt Lake County, Utah.

Alexander Vasquez-Valentin, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for possession with intent to distribute a schedule I/II narcotic in Sussex County, Delaware.

Emanuel De Jesus Arroyo-Aviles, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for smuggling of person with intent to flee in Eagle Pass, Texas.

Six Men Charged in One of the Largest Narcotics & Firearms Trafficking Busts in Nassau County History

 

A multi-agency, monthslong investigation recovered 47 illegal guns and more than one kilogram of narcotics that the defendants allegedly trafficked into Queens and Nassau County

Drug Enforcement Administration New York Enforcement Division Special Agent in Charge Farhana Islam, Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder announced that six men have been charged with multiple counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance, criminal sale of a firearm, and other charges in one of the largest gun trafficking investigations in Nassau County history.

The arrests are the result of a 14-month long joint investigation led by NCDA’s Firearms Suppression and Intelligence Unit and included the Nassau County Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) New York Enforcement Division, Long Island District Office Task Force.

“The arrests of these six individuals and the seizure of 47 firearms, cocaine, and heroin, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers law enforcement officials face while targeting those who fuel drug-related violence in our communities” stated DEA New York Enforcement Division Special Agent in Charge Farhana Islam. “Every firearm recovered represents one less weapon that can be used to intimidate, injure, or kill. The DEA and our law enforcement partners remain steadfast in our commitment to targeting violent criminals that profit from violence and drug trafficking, and protecting the communities of Long Island.”

“These six defendants allegedly tried to flood our communities with deadly narcotics and nearly 50 illegal firearms, some of which have been linked to crimes in other jurisdictions. Every illegal gun recovered had the potential to destroy innocent lives,” said Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly. “Since taking office, combating gun violence has been a top priority. I created the Firearms Suppression and Intelligence Unit to target those responsible for bringing illegal guns into our communities. Thanks to this outstanding joint investigation, these guns and drugs will never reach the hands of criminals who try to terrorize our neighborhoods. For five years, we have made clear that gun traffickers in Nassau County will face the consequences, and we are not slowing down.”

“If anyone thinks they are going to bring guns and drugs into Nassau County, they better think again. With the full support of our County Executive Bruce Blakeman, our Detectives went after these criminals and now they will have to answer for their crimes. Nassau County will remain the safest county in America, thanks to the hard work of the men and women in the Nassau County Police Department. We value our partners who worked with us to hold these criminals accountable,” said Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick J. Ryder.

“This investigation demonstrates the strength of our partnerships and our shared commitment to protecting the public,” said ATF New York Special Agent in Charge Bryan DiGirolamo. “I want to commend the brave undercover personnel and the dedicated men and women from our local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies who worked tirelessly to dismantle this firearms-trafficking operation. By disrupting the illegal sale of more than 40 firearms, we are preventing dangerous weapons from reaching those who would use them to commit violent crimes. ATF remains laser-focused on identifying firearms traffickers, dismantling illegal trafficking networks, and protecting our communities by stopping gun violence before it occurs. Special thanks to ATF Joint Firearms Task Force Long Island, ATF-NYPD Joint Firearms Task Force, DEA, Nassau County DA and Nassau County PD.”

“This was a takedown of historic proportions that will not only make Nassau County safer, but the whole region,” said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. “This is a combination of using technology and good old-fashioned police work to solve these crimes that are being committed on a daily basis here in our region.”

Governor Hochul Updates New Yorkers on Statewide Air Quality and Potential for Severe Weather

Wildfire Smoke Plume Expected To Impact Air Quality Statewide Saturday After Improved Conditions Friday Afternoon

Statewide Air Quality Health Advisory in Effect for Saturday; Check Local Air Qualit2y on AirNow.gov

Enhanced Risk for Severe Thunderstorms Across Western New York, Finger Lakes, Central New York, Mid-Hudson and New York City Beginning Saturday

Damaging Winds Possible With Chance for Isolated Tornado in Those Regions; Flood Watches Issued for New York City and Long Island

New Yorkers Can Sign Up for Weather and Emergency Alerts by Texting 333111

Governor Kathy Hochul updated New Yorkers on rapidly-changing air quality conditions caused by smoke from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota and high temperatures, as well as the potential for severe thunderstorms beginning Saturday morning. An updated Air Quality Health Advisory for particulate matter remains in effect for today, July 17, 2026 through 11:59 p.m. Air quality conditions improved in portions of the state through Friday afternoon, but shifts in the wildfire plume are expected to negatively impact air quality statewide on Saturday.

For portions of Western New York, Finger Lakes, Central New York, Mid-Hudson and New York City, there is an Enhanced Risk meaning a greater likelihood, for severe thunderstorms through Saturday evening. Damaging winds, large hail and the possibility of tornadoes could occur with these storms. There is also a Slight Risk for flash flooding for New York City and Long Island with flood watches already issued. Governor Hochul has directed all state agencies to prepare for the incoming severe weather and continued to urge all New Yorkers, particularly sensitive groups, to continue to take precautions to protect their health and to monitor local air quality conditions using trusted sources, including AirNow.gov.

“While air quality has improved in portions of the State throughout Friday afternoon, lingering effects of smoke from Canadian wildfires continue to impact air quality into Saturday,” Governor Hochul said. “We expect rain to bring some much-needed relief to New Yorkers experiencing poor air quality over the weekend, but with it we may see the possibility of severe storms, flooding and tornados. I remind everyone to take this weather seriously: Take precautions, know what to do if a storm reaches your areas and remember to stay air quality aware to protect your health. Stay informed by checking trusted sources for air quality and weather forecasts, and don’t forget to check on friends and family members who might need assistance.”

The New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Health (DOH) issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for tomorrow, July 18, for the Western New York, Central New York, Eastern Lake Ontario, New York City Metro and Long Island regions where air quality is forecast to reach levels that are ‘Unhealthy.’ The Adirondacks, Upper Hudson Valley and Lower Hudson Valley regions are forecast to reach ‘Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups.’ Smoke causing temporary spikes of unhealthy air may affect other regions as the plume continues to move across the state. DEC and DOH will be closely monitoring conditions to make any necessary changes to advisories.

At the Governor's direction, the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) made over 100,000 high-quality N95-style masks available to all counties to address air quality impacts. DHSES has received requests from Orleans, Oswego, Otsego, Schoharie and Warren Counties and provided an additional 70,000 masks to the New York City area for local distribution, and to the National Guard, Office of Emergency Management (OEM) staff and the Port Authority for distribution at regional transportation hubs across the five boroughs. More than 40,000 masks have been handed out over the past two days as part of this state-led distribution. Masks have also been made available at Thruway Rest Stops — Angola, Clifton Springs, New Baltimore and Ramapo. The Office of Emergency Management remains in contact with their local counterparts and is prepared to facilitate requests for assistance.

While areas of smoke and hazy conditions will continue through tomorrow, there is an Enhanced Risk for portions of the state tomorrow for scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms. Main hazards include damaging winds and heavy rainfall with the possibility of an isolated tornado. Portions of Western New York, Finger Lakes, Central New York, Southern Tier, Mid-Hudson and New York City can expect scattered to numerous severe thunderstorms. While a first round of showers and thunderstorms could develop during the morning hours, the primary timing of severe storms is during the afternoon and evening hours.

Showers and thunderstorms moving across the state tomorrow will be capable of producing heavy rainfall. Widespread rainfall amounts from tomorrow morning through tomorrow night range between 0.5 inches to 1 inch with rainfall rates reaching between 0.5 to 1 inches per hour with thunderstorms. Locally higher amounts are possible where the heaviest rainfall occurs with thunderstorms tomorrow. There is a Slight Risk for flooding for New York City and Long Island with a Flood Watch issued for those areas.

How to Stay Prepared

• Closely monitor your local forecasts and look for updates issued by the National Weather Service. For a complete listing of weather alerts, New Yorkers can visit the National Weather Service website.
• New Yorkers should ensure that government emergency alerts are enabled on their mobile phones and sign up for real-time weather and emergency alerts by texting their county or borough name to 333111.
• To stay up-to-date with announcements from DEC, New Yorkers can sign up to receive Air Quality Alerts.
• A toll-free Air Quality Hotline (1-800-535-1345) was also established by DEC to keep New Yorkers informed of the latest air quality situation.
• New Yorkers should also continue to monitor the Air Quality Index (AQI) at www.AirNow.gov, New York State’s trusted source for air quality monitoring data, and take action when levels exceed safe thresholds.

Recommendations for New Yorkers in Areas of Poor Air Quality

• Sensitive groups should take particular caution.
• Where the air is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups, New Yorkers with underlying health conditions should make outdoor activities shorter and less intense, and take breaks to reduce the risk of health symptoms.
• In areas where the air is considered unhealthy, people who are especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants should make outdoor activities shorter and less intense, and take breaks to reduce the risk of health symptoms. Avoid spending time outdoors, if possible. People more sensitive to smoke-related pollution include those with heart or breathing problems, older adults, children and teens, pregnant people and those who exercise or work outdoors.
• If you must go outside when air quality levels are considered unhealthy, do not overexert yourself and find a well-fitting mask to wear.
• Remember to take steps to cool off in air conditioning for at least a few hours because it’s also hot outside and indoor and outdoor temperatures can climb quickly.
• Staying indoors in a smoke-free environment can lower your exposure.
• Those who experience symptoms or have symptoms that worsen should consider consulting their medical provider.
• View additional tips available here.

Exposure to unhealthy air quality conditions can pose negative health impacts, including irritation to eyes, nose or throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and shortness of breath. These conditions are especially dangerous for vulnerable New Yorkers with medical conditions such as asthma and/or heart disease. New Yorkers should also be sure to protect their pets, limiting outdoor exposure when air quality hits unhealthy levels.

Thunderstorm Safety Tips

Thunderstorms are dangerous storms that can produce winds over 50 miles per hour, lightning, hail and cause flash flooding and tornadoes.

• If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to a safe shelter immediately.
• Move to a sturdy building. Do not take shelter in small sheds, under isolated trees, or in convertible automobiles.
• If lightning occurs and sturdy shelter is not available, get inside a hard top automobile and keep windows up.
• Get out of boats and away from water.
• Telephone lines and metal pipes can conduct electricity. Unplug appliances not necessary for obtaining weather information. Avoid using the telephone or any electrical appliances.
• Do not take a bath or shower.
• Turn off air conditioners — power surges from lightning can overload compressors.
• Get to higher ground if flash flooding or flooding is possible.
• Do not attempt to drive to safety — most flash flooding deaths occur in automobiles.
• If outdoors, find a low spot away from trees, fences, and poles.
• If you are in the woods, take shelter under short trees.
• If you feel your skin tingle or your hair stands on end, squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet; place your hands on your knees with your head between them; make yourself the smallest target possible; and minimize your contact with the ground.

Tornado Safety Tips

• If outdoors: Seek shelter in a substantial building immediately. If there is no shelter nearby, lie flat in a ditch or low spot with your hands shielding your head.
• Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave it immediately.
• If at home or in a small building: Go to the basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of the building. Stay away from windows. Closets, bathrooms, and other interior rooms offer the best protection. Get under something sturdy or cover yourself with a mattress.
• If in a school, hospital, or shopping center: Go to a pre-designated shelter area. Stay away from large open areas and windows. Do not go outside to your car.
• If in a high-rise building: Go to an interior small room or hallway on the lowest floor possible. Do not use the elevators. Use the stairs.
• If in a mobile home or vehicle: Get out of mobile homes or vehicles — they are easily tossed about by strong winds in the tornado.
• Take shelter in a substantial structure: If there is no shelter near-by, lie flat in a ditch or low spot with your hands shielding your head.

Flood Safety

• During flash flooding, never attempt to drive on a flooded road. Turn around and go another way. If water begins to rise rapidly around you in your car, abandon the vehicle immediately.
• Do not underestimate the power of fast-moving water. Two feet of fast-moving flood water will float your car, and water moving at two miles per hour can sweep cars off a road or bridge.
