ozone. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the Red
or Unhealthy category.

* WHERE…Central Minnesota.

* WHEN…Until 9 AM CDT Wednesday.

* IMPACTS…Some members of the general public may experience
health effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung
disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and older
adults, may experience health effects.

* 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

impact central Minnesota beginning on Monday afternoon. The smoke
will reach southern Minnesota by Monday evening. In addition,
ground-level ozone may reach the Orange AQI category for the Twin
Cities. Precipitation is expected across central Minnesota Monday
evening, but may not help improve air quality much. Smoke will
begin to clear central Minnesota Wednesday morning and air
quality will improve below the alert threshold.
