Go inside if you have symptoms. People with asthma: Follow your asthma action plan and keep quick-relief medicine handy. People with heart disease: Symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or unusual fatigue may indicate a serious problem. If you have any of these, contact your health care provider. Everyone else: Keep outdoor activities shorter and less intense. Go inside if you have symptoms. Additional Details: Canadian wildfire smoke will continue to impact Wisconsin`s surface air quality this weekend. A mix of Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (USG; Orange) AQI and Unhealthy (Red) AQI is forecast again today as smoke recirculates around a slowly-moving surface high pressure system. Heavier smoke is expected across northern and eastern Wisconsin today, while lighter impacts are more likely for southern and western counties. A few locations may end up in the upper range of Moderate AQI. Conditions will continue to be reevaluated on a day-to-day basis, including updates to the forecast and any associated Air Quality Advisories.
