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.
