## extract

Air Quality Alert — Wabasha; Winona
Severity: Unknown. Certainty: Unknown.
* 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...East central, central, west central, southeast,
north central, and northwest Minnesota.

* WHEN...Until 11 AM CDT Friday.

* 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...Very heavy smoke is expected across
the Arrowhead today, as large wildfires continue to spread. Hot
temperatures, when combined with the air pollution, will exacerbate
health impacts. A frontal boundary will then spread heavy smoke
further south this evening into Wednesday morning, as it moves
across northern and central Minnesota. The onset of smoke will be
rapid. This boundary eventually passes through the Twin Cities and
into southeastern Minnesota on Wednesday or Wednesday evening,
bringing heavy smoke even further south. Additional rounds of heavy
smoke are possible from Thursday through Friday morning across the
alert area.
