Moderate to heavy smoke is expected to impact most of Iowa over
the next few days at levels considered unhealthy for sensitive
groups or even unhealthy for healthy individuals. Sensitive groups

children, teenagers, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
The DNR recommends that people avoid long or intense outdoor

improves.

217 PM CDT Wed Jul 30 2025
...AIR QUALITY ALERT REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM CDT SATURDAY...
* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air
Quality Alert for fine particles pollution. The Air Quality Index
(AQI) is expected to reach the Red or Unhealthy category.
* WHERE...West central, east central, central, south central,
southwest, southeast, north central, northwest, and northeast
Minnesota.
* WHEN...Until 5 PM CDT Saturday.
* IMPACTS...Some members of the general public may experience health
effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease
(including asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults,
may experience health effects.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Northerly winds will continue transporting
waves of heavy surface smoke from wildfires across Manitoba and
Saskatchewan into Minnesota. Smoke will move south across all of
Minnesota and linger through Saturday afternoon. The smoke will be
reinforced by an area of high pressure that will create light winds
and limit the dispersion of smoke. Heavier smoke is now expected
to make it into southern Minnesota, therefore all of Minnesota will
likely experience Red/Unhealthy AQI at times through Saturday
afternoon when the air quality is forecasted to
improve.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle idling as much as possible.
Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors.
