ATLANTA - Hot, hazy conditions in the Atlanta area are expected to continue Monday, and a smog alert has been issued.

According to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, the region's smog index is likely to remain at ``orange,'' meaning the air will be unhealthy for those with respiratory problems, children, older adults and adults who spend a lot of time outside.

National Weather Service meteorologist Sean Ryan says Monday is expected to be hot, with highs in some places in the Atlanta area reaching 97.

The high in Gainesville is expected to be around 90. Sunday, the high in Gainesville at the airport was 89.
