Canada wildfire smoke continues to blanket area

An air quality alert continues to be in effect for the Fond du Lac area as well as all of Wisconsin as smoke from Canada wildfires hangs out for another few days.

The air quality alert had been set to end at noon of each day this week but kept being extended as air quality continued to be compromised.

Canadian wildfire smoke will continue to impact Wisconsin`s surface air quality over the next several days. Conditions have improved since Thursday as a pocket of cleaner air has
infiltrated the widespread blanket of dense smoke across eastern Wisconsin. However, a mix of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups and Unhealthy is still expected today, with locations farther north more likely to see heavier smoke.

Conditions will continue to be reevaluated on a day-to-day basis, including updates to the forecast and any associated Air Quality Advisories.
