Air Quality Alert

MNZ003-024-027>032-040-171600-
Clay-East Becker-East Otter Tail-Grant-Hubbard-Wadena-West Becker-
West Otter Tail-Wilkin-
Including the Tribal Nations of Leech Lake and White Earth
Including the city of Moorhead
1107 AM CDT Tue Jul 14 2026

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM CDT FRIDAY...

* WHAT...The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air
Quality Alert for fine particles pollution. The Air Quality Index
(AQI) is expected to reach the Red or Unhealthy category.

* WHERE...East central, central, west central, southeast, north
central, and northwest Minnesota.

* WHEN...Until 11 AM CDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Some members of the general public may experience health
effects. Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease
(including asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, may
experience health effects.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Very heavy smoke is expected across the
Arrowhead today, as large wildfires continue to spread. Hot
temperatures, when combined with the air pollution, will exacerbate
health impacts. A frontal boundary will then spread heavy smoke
further south this evening into Wednesday morning, as it moves across
northern and central Minnesota. The onset of smoke will be rapid.
This boundary eventually passes through the Twin Cities and into
southeastern Minnesota on Wednesday or Wednesday evening, bringing
heavy smoke even further south. Additional rounds of heavy smoke are
possible from Thursday through Friday morning across the alert area.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, should avoid
prolonged or heavy exertion. The general public should limit
prolonged or heavy 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. Keep windows closed overnight to prevent
smoke from getting indoors.
