The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources re-extended its air quality alert statewide as wildfire smoke lingers.

Because of the Canadian wildfire smoke, an air quality advisory for parts of Wisconsin, including most of southeast Wisconsin, has been extended again. The advisory is now in effect until noon Wednesday,

The Wisconsin DNR monitors air quality, which in the case of Sheboygan County is done from Plymouth – and that reading was unhealthy for sensitive groups this morning. For now an Air Quality Alert remains in effect until noon. Those expirations have typically been extended for the past several days, and that could happen again today.
