Full Notification

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air Quality Advisory for Particulates from wildfire smoke...in effect until noon CDT Thursday. Smoke originating from Canadian wildfires has spread from north to south impacting PM2.5 concentrations at the surface. We expect this situation to remain highly dynamic over the coming days. Concentrations of Particulates may approach or exceed unhealthy standards. At this level of Particulates exposure, members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is not likely to be affected. At this time, we anticipate the eastern half of Wisconsin to see the heaviest surface smoke through the episode, from noon today through noon Wednesday currently appearing to be the timing of heaviest impact. The AQI will likely range from the UNHEALTHY to VERY UNHEALTHY categories east of the local area.
