WHERE...All of Wisconsin

WHEN...Until noon Monday, August 4

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 surface
air quality. A mix of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG;
Orange) AQI and Unhealthy (Red) AQI is forecast again today as
smoke persists over the region and continues to recirculate
around a slowly moving surface high pressure system. The heaviest
smoke is expected across eastern Wisconsin today, while lighter
impacts are more likely for western counties. A few locations may
observe Moderate (Yellow) AQI, especially to the west. Conditions
will continue to be reevaluated on a day-to-day basis, including
updates to the forecast and any associated Air Quality
Advisories.
