MN WEATHER: HAZY SKY FOR MONDAY

Smoke from wildfires in Canada reached Minnesota, causing a hazy sky for Monday.
Much of the state is under an air quality alert, which is expected to be lifted
in the afternoon. Monday is seasonable with a high of 71 degrees, much cooler
than Sunday's high of 88 degrees.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Central and southern Minnesota remain under an air quality
alert that is expected to last until noon on Monday.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) initially issued an alert for the
entire state, but it expired for northern Minnesota at 8 a.m.





The air quality alert is due to wildfire smoke being carried from northeast
British Columbia, Canada, by a cold that is expected to last "for several hours"
according to the MPCA. 

The forecast shows smoke will have its maximum impact on the Twin Cities
starting at 5 p.m. Sunday and smoke will likely linger overnight.



State officials provided details about this year's air quality forecast on
Thursday.



The MPCA adds that fine particle levels are expected to reach the red air
quality index category (AQI) across the entire state, which is a level that is
considered unhealthy for everyone.

Minnesota residents are advised to keep windows closed to prevent smoke from
coming indoors. Actions that contribute to air pollution, such as burning,
should be avoided. The MPCA also advises people to limit prolonged or heavy
exertion and their time spent outdoors. Vehicle trips and vehicle idling should
be reduced as much as possible. 

Sensitive groups, including children, the elderly and those with respiratory
illnesses such as asthma, should avoid prolonged outdoor exertion as much as
possible.  

There was a record number of air quality alerts last summer due to smoke from
Canadian wildfires being carried into the state.
