Full Notification

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has updated the Air Quality Advisory for PM2.5 which will now remain in effect until 11 PM CDT tonight. This advisory affects the entire state of Wisconsin. Canadian wildfire smoke has remained evident across Wisconsin Thursday night through Friday morning. However, surface concentrations continue to be lower than initially anticipated. Southerly winds will increase in magnitude tonight into tomorrow, preventing additional transport of smoke into Wisconsin from the north. Concerns for smoke-enhanced ozone have also decreased with the lower levels of observed smoke. The advisory will be cancelled at 11 PM CDT tonight. People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should still reduce prolonged or heavy exertion if possible.
