...AIR QUALITY ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR CENTRAL, SOUTHWEST,
AND WEST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN...

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an Air
Quality Advisory for the following counties: Adams, Buffalo, Clark,
Crawford, Grant, Jackson, Juneau, La Crosse, Monroe, Richland,
Taylor, Trempealeau, and Vernon.

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

WHEN...Until 6 am Saturday, May 31

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions:
Sensitive groups: Make outdoor activities shorter and less
intense. Itbs OK 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.

Additional Details:
Air quality will degrade from north to south on Friday 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
on Friday. The front will move into northeast Wisconsin Friday
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.
