Air Quality Alert until 11:15PM Saturday

...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY FOR OZONE REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM CDT SATURDAY... The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources issued an Air Quality Advisory for PM2.5, which remains in effect until midnight tonight. This advisory affects people living in the following counties: Adams, Crawford, Grant, Juneau, and Richland. In addition, an Air Quality Advisory for ozone remains in effect through 11 PM CDT Saturday for the entire state of Wisconsin. Favorable meteorological conditions combined with the presence of Canadian wildfire smoke will lead to enhanced surface ozone production through Saturday. In general, peak ozone concentrations occur from 10 am each morning until 10 pm each night, with lower ozone concentrations observed overnight and into the morning hours. Air quality will also be impacted by wildfire smoke at the surface originating from the Quebec Province. The air quality index is expected to reach the UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS level statewide, with the potential to reach the UNHEALTHY level on an isolated basis. During peak ozone, people with lung disease (such as asthma), children, older adults, and people who are active outdoors (including outdoor workers) should reduce or consider avoiding prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion, while all others should consider reducing prolonged or heavy outdoor exertion.
