Air Quality Alert issued July 16 at 9:20AM CDT by NWS Duluth MN The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory for the following counties: Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Price, Sawyer, and Washburn. * WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy (Red) to Hazardous (Maroon) level. * WHERE...Statewide. * WHEN...Until noon Friday. Sensitive groups: Stay indoors and keep activity levels light. Follow tips for keeping particle levels low indoors. People with asthma: Follow your asthma action plan and keep quick- relief medicine handy. People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care provider. Everyone: Avoid all physical activity outdoors. Additional Details: As of 7 a.m. Thursday morning, widespread Very Unhealthy (Purple) to Hazardous (Maroon) AQI PM2.5 is being observed nearly statewide. Surface analysis at 4 a.m. placed the boundary from approximately Prairie du Chien to Platteville, with cleaner air to the south and west of this boundary in portions of Grant, Lafayette, and Crawford Counties. Although this boundary may meander to the northeast from roughly 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and bring cleaner air further into far southwest Wisconsin, the boundary is then likely to sag back southwest overnight into Friday morning. We then expect to see clearing of the smoke from west to east throughout the day on Friday as southerly winds pick up ahead of an approaching system. Given this setup, we are going to extend the statewide air quality advisory until noon Friday. At that time, it will be possible that we will extend the advisory once again for eastern areas, especially those impacted by Lake Michigan. It is also possible that areas along Lake Superior will see prolonged smoke impacts and need to remain in the advisory. However, we expect to remove much of the state from the advisory area at that time for this first round of smoke. For more information on current air quality, please see: https://airquality.wi.gov

Air Quality Alert issued July 17 at 10:29AM CDT by NWS Duluth MN The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory for the following counties: Ashland, Bayfield, Brown, Calumet, Dodge, Door, Douglas, Florence, Fond du Lac, Forest, Iron, Jefferson, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Langlade, Manitowoc, Marinette, Menominee, Milwaukee, Oconto, Outagamie, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Shawano, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha, Waupaca, Winnebago. WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (Orange) to Unhealthy (Red) level. WHERE...Eastern Wisconsin and near-shore areas of Lake Superior. WHEN...From noon until 6 p.m. Precautionary/Preparedness Actions: Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities inside. Go inside if you have symptoms. People with asthma: Follow your asthma action plan and keep quick-relief medicine handy. People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care provider. Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less intense. Go inside if you have symptoms. Additional Details: A statewide Air Quality Advisory will remain in effect until noon today. Clearing of the smoke is expected from west to east, but eastern areas will continue to see impacts beyond noon, which this advisory addresses. It remains unclear how Lake Superior will impact the clearing of smoke for near shore communities. Out of an abundance of caution, this advisory covers counties adjacent to Lake Superior, although only near shore portions of these counties may continue to see smoke impacts. It remains possible that near shore areas will clear out more quickly than this advisory suggests. For more information on current air quality, please see: https://airquality.wi.gov
