...AIR QUALITY ALERT NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CDT MONDAY...
* 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 noon CDT Monday.
* 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...Surface high pressure will camp out over the
region through Friday evening and will result in light winds and
poor dispersion. Smoke with widespread red/unhealthy air quality
index (AQI) concentrations will likely remain over most of the
state through tonight and into the day Saturday. Winds will
increase out of the south over the weekend as high pressure drifts
east of the area. Smoke concentrations should gradually decline
starting Saturday, but the clearing of the smoke may be slow with
smoke spreading as far south as Tennessee and Missouri. Orange AQIs
(unhealthy for sensitive groups) could hang on through Sunday and
into the day Monday. Most of the alert-level smoke should push
north back into Canada by later Monday.
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.
