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

WHEN...From noon Thursday through noon Friday

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Sensitive groups: Make outdoor activities shorter and less

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.

Additional Details:
Overall, conditions will continue to improve with vertical mixing
throughout the day today. However, observations from yesterday
coupled with guidance this morning suggests a pool of smoke still
trapped within the marine layer over Lake Michigan. Once the lake
breeze initiates this afternoon, higher PM2.5 concentrations are
expected with the onshore flow.
