(AQI) is expected to reach the Maroon or Hazardous category.

* WHERE…Northwest Minnesota.

* WHEN…Until 4 AM CDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS…Everyone is very likely to be affected. Minor ashfall is
possible due to the dense smoke.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…A band of very heavy ground-level smoke from
Canadian wildfires has moved into northwest Minnesota Monday morning
behind a cold front. This smoke will continue to follow behind the
cold front as it moves southeast on Monday. Air quality is expected
to reach the Maroon AQI category for far northwest Minnesota.
