Smoke Impacts Linger

Air Quality Alert

Smoke impacts linger as high pressure settles overhead. Scattered showers and thunderstorms develop Friday, which may help clear dense smoke concentrations into the weekend. Please continue to follow safety guidance from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Alert for all of the state of Michigan through Thursday due to elevated levels of particulates produced from wildfires in Canada. If possible, avoid strenuous outdoors activities, especially for those with heart disease and respiratory illnesses such as asthma.
