Wildfire smoke expected at high levels this week
Meteorologists at the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) have issued a statewide air quality alert for elevated levels of fine particulate in the air starting at midnight tonight. This has the potential to be a multi-day event from smoke caused by ongoing wildfires in Canada.
Conditions may be unhealthy for sensitive groups and there is a possibility that levels could reach the unhealthy range (see Air Quality Index information below), which could affect otherwise healthy individuals. EGLE’s meteorologists continue to track wildfires, assess conditions and will issue additional alerts if necessary.
