NEW: A Spare the Air alert has been extended through Saturday for unhealthy smog levels, air quality officials say.
Hot inland temperatures and vehicle exhaust are expected to combine to create unhealthy air conditions, especially for older people, children and people with respiratory conditions.
"Unfortunately, unhealthy air quality is expected to continue in the Bay Area this weekend," said Dr. Philip Fine, executive officer of the Air District."Enjoy weekend activities by leaving your car at home and taking transit, walking or biking to help reduce air pollution and protect the health of Bay Area residents."

People are being advised to limit outdoor exercise to the early morning hours when ozone concentrations are lower. Spare the Air alerts are issued when ozone levels are forecast to reach levels that can cause throat irritation, congestion and chest pain, and often coincide with high temperatures.
