ADDITIONAL DETAILS: A band of very heavy smoke from wildfires in northeast British Columbia has moved into northern Minnesota and will sweep south across the state on Sunday behind a cold front. The smoke will reach central Minnesota by Sunday afternoon and southern Minnesota by Sunday evening. The timing of maximum smoke impacts in the Twin Cities will be from around 5pm to 10pm - and this would be the time to avoid outdoor exertion if possible. Smoke will have a rapid onset as the front passes and will linger overnight before clearing Monday morning.

Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. The general public should limit prolonged or heavy exertion. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor burning, and use of residential wood burning devices.

Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) to Unhealthy PM2.5 AQI will be possible as the smoke plume moves into the state behind a cold front. PM2.5 concentrations are likely to remain elevated through Sunday afternoon and evening across northwest Wisconsin. Smoke will then continue moving from northwest-to-southeast behind the cold front Sunday night into Monday morning and is expected to eventually impact the entire state come Monday. Currently, Moderate to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG) AQI PM2.5 concentrations are anticipated Monday before transitioning back towards Moderate to Good AQI later Monday into Tuesday.
