The article does not contain any formal fallacies or appeals to authority. There are no dichotomous depictions or inflammatory rhetoric present in the text. However, there are a few instances of overgeneralization and potentially misleading statements that could be considered informal fallacies. The author states that “this early in the season,” National Weather Service meteorologist Roger Gass says “it’s pretty extreme.” This is an overgeneralization as it implies that this heat wave is extremely unusual for this time of year, which may not be entirely accurate. Additionally, the article states that “air quality through Thursday is expected to be in the moderate range, between 50 and 100 on the Air Quality Index (AQI).” This statement could be misleading as it omits the specific details about what levels of air quality are considered healthy versus unhealthy for sensitive groups. These examples lead to a score of 90 out of 100.
