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, and Waukesha.

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

WHERE...All of Wisconsin

WHEN...Until noon Sunday, August 3

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 will continue to impact Wisconsin`s
surface air quality this weekend. A mix of Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups (USG; Orange) AQI and Unhealthy (Red) AQI is
forecast again today as smoke recirculates around a slowly-moving
surface high pressure system. Heavier smoke is expected across
northern and eastern Wisconsin today, while lighter impacts are
more likely for southern and western counties. A few locations
may end up in the upper range of Moderate AQI. Conditions will
continue to be reevaluated on a day-to-day basis, including
updates to the forecast and any associated Air Quality
Advisories.
