Air Quality Alert issued May 29 at 5:20PM CDT by NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan WI

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for the following counties:

Columbia, Dane, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Green, Green Lake, Iowa,
Jefferson, Kenosha, Lafayette, Marquette, Milwaukee, Ozaukee,
Racine, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha.

* WHAT…The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups level.

* WHERE…All of Wisconsin

* WHEN…6 am Friday, May 30 until 6 am Saturday, May 31

* Additional Details: Air quality will degrade from north to
south on Friday as Canadian wildfire smoke pushes in ahead of a
cold front. Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) AQI (Orange
category) is expected for much of the state, with the potential
to reach Unhealthy AQI (Red category). Areas to the southwest
(mostly along the Mississippi River valley) will have the best
chance to remain in Moderate AQI on Friday. The front will move
into northeast Wisconsin Friday evening and begin clearing the
air from northeast to southwest. However, this will also push
smoke further south and west, and an additional Air Quality
Advisory may be needed on Saturday for western areas if PM2.5
concentrations remain high enough.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:

Sensitive groups: Make outdoor activities shorter and less
intense. Its OK to be active outdoors but take more breaks. Watch
for symptoms such as coughing or shortness of breath. 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.
