Air Quality Alert issued May 12 at 4:05PM CDT by NWS Grand Forks ND
Non-Weather Emergency Message. Not sent to IPAWS.
Effective: Mon May 12, 2025, 4:05 PM
Expires: Tue May 13, 2025, 9:00 PM
* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for ozone pollution. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the Orange or Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups category. * WHERE...West central, east central, central, south central, southwest, north central, and northwest Minnesota. * WHEN...From noon CDT to 9 PM CDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including asthma), heart disease, children and older adults, and people who are active outdoors, may experience health effects. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Ground-level ozone is expected to be high once again during the afternoon hours on Tuesday across roughly the western two-thirds of Minnesota, including the Twin Cities Metro. Mostly sunny skies, warm temperatures and low humidity will provide a favorable environment for two types of pollutants (volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) to react with sunlight in the air to produce ground-level ozone. Ozone will remain elevated on Wednesday as sunny skies, warm temperatures and dry conditions persist.
Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including asthma), heart disease, children and older adults, and people who are active outdoors, should limit prolonged or heavy outdoor 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.
