Air Quality Alert
Issued: 8:01 PM May. 30, 2025 – National Weather Service
...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY ISSUED FOR ALL OF CENTRAL, EAST-CENTRAL, NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN... * WHAT...The PM2.5 AQI is expected to reach the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups level. * WHERE...All of central, east-central, north-central, and northeast Wisconsin. * WHEN...Through 6:00 AM CDT Saturday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Air quality will degrade from north to south today as Canadian wildfire smoke pushes in ahead of a cold front. Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) AQI (Orange category) is expected for much of the state, with the potential to reach Unhealthy AQI (Red category). Areas to the southwest (mostly along the Mississippi River valley) will have the best chance to remain in Moderate AQI today. The front will move through northeast Wisconsin this evening and begin clearing the air from northeast to southwest. However, this will also push smoke further south and west, and an additional Air Quality Advisory may be needed on Saturday for western areas if PM2.5 concentrations remain high enough. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Sensitive groups: Make outdoor activities shorter and less intense. It is okay to be active outdoors, but take more breaks. 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. &&
