Air Quality Alert issued July 31 at 3:30PM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Non-Weather Emergency Message. Not sent to IPAWS.

Effective: Thu July 31, 2025, 3:30 PM
Expires: Fri August 1, 2025, 3:30 PM

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has extended the Air Quality Advisory through Saturday August 2, for elevated levels of fine particulates (PM2.5). Pollutants are expected to be in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range. The alert is in effect for the following Michigan Counties, Roscommon, Charlevoix, Missaukee, Beaver Island and surrounding islands, Wexford, Manistee, Mackinac Island/Bois Blanc Island, Emmet, Iosco, Ogemaw, Presque Isle, Cheboygan, Eastern Mackinac, Alcona, Western Mackinac, Montmorency, Southeast Chippewa, Otsego, Antrim, Central Chippewa, Leelanau, Western Chippewa, Arenac, Kalkaska, Grand Traverse, Benzie, Alpena, Oscoda, Crawford, and Gladwin. Smoke from Canadian wildfires remains over the state this afternoon. While some improvement in air quality is possible tonight into early Friday, the improvement will be short lived as additional plumes of smoke drop into the area from the northwest through the end of the week. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory diseases such as asthma. Monitor for symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor burning, and use of residential wood burning devices. Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters.
