The weather report said very little wind, which basically guaranteed the plant's normal pollution rate will set off the alert.

Which is worse than the plant generating more pollution than usual. All of the big pollution events in history were connected with unusual weather that held the pollution in place.

This happens several times a year, sometimes up to a week at a time. It's not really all that unusual.
