The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for the following counties: Dodge, Fond du Lac,
Green Lake, Kenosha, Marquette, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine,
Sheboygan, Washington and Waukesha.

WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups (USG) to Unhealthy level.

WHERE...Central into Southeast Wisconsin.

WHEN...From 3 PM CDT Thursday until 11 PM CDT Friday.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Sensitive groups: Consider rescheduling or moving all activities
inside. Go inside if you have symptoms.

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.

Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less intense.
Go inside if you have symptoms.

Additional Details:
Canadian wildfire smoke has entered northwest Wisconsin Thursday,
and will continue to move to the southeast through the remainder
of the day. On Friday, smoke will begin moving south, including
down Lake Michigan and into Green Bay, impacting central Wisconsin
and eastern areas as well.

It remains unclear how far south the smoke will make it down Lake
Michigan, so the advisory has been extended all the way to
Kenosha County. Winds will begin turning southerly Friday night
into Saturday, at which point the smoke will begin moving back
north. It is possible that the advisory will need to be extended
into Saturday for some areas of Wisconsin.
