Air Quality Continues Today

A Look Ahead

Severe Weather Outlook Late Friday - Friday Night

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has extended the Air Quality Advisory for all of Michigan through today due to elevated levels of fine particulates produced from wildfires in Canada. If possible, avoid strenuous outdoors activities, especially for those with heart disease and respiratory illnesses such as asthma. For more information, please visit the EPA’s Air Now site for up-to-date air quality data: https://www.airnow.gov

Canadian wildfire smoke will continue to impact the region with resultant air quality issues through Thursday with shower/storm chances eventually increasing Friday into the start of the weekend.

Shower/storm chances increase across northern Michigan Friday afternoon into Friday night. Isolated strong to severe storms are possible, with the primary threats being damaging winds, large hail and heavy downpours.
