Air Quality Alert
Issued: 2:28 PM Aug. 2, 2025 – National Weather Service
...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY FOR SATURDAY AUGUST 2 THROUGH SUNDAY AUGUST 3... The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Advisory for elevated levels of fine particulate (PM2.5) across the state of Michigan. Pollutants are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG, Orange AQI) range from Thursday until Saturday with some locations reaching the Unhealthy (Red AQI) range. The Air Quality Advisory includes all Michigan counties. Canadian wildfire smoke will re-enter Michigan, statewide, Saturday afternoon and persist through at least Sunday. A High-pressure system sitting in the Midwest will continue to funnel wildfire smoke into the state and cause little to no dispersion due to stagnant conditions. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory diseases like asthma. Monitor for symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such as: - outdoor burning; - use of residential wood burning devices. Tips for households: - Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters.
