A cold front will push smoke from Canadian wildfires across the whole state. The air quality is expected to reach the red quality index (AQI) category, a level considered unhealthy for everyone, across all of Minnesota. Southern Minnesota is expected to reach orange air quality index (AQI) category, a level considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.

This air quality alert may need to be extended as additional waves o smoke may continue will be possible. For more information on the air quality alert, sensitive groups, and health effects, visit the MPCA current air quality webpage. [ [link removed] ]
