The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an air quality advisory for 13 counties from noon Tuesday through noon Thursday as smoke from wildfires in Minnesota and Ontario moves into the state, with the heaviest impacts expected in northwest Wisconsin. The National Weather Service also maintains a heat advisory for southeast Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin until 8 p.m. Tuesday, with heat index values reaching 102 degrees. Health officials recommend that sensitive groups limit outdoor activity, people with asthma keep quick-relief medication handy, and those with heart disease monitor for symptoms including palpitations and shortness of breath.
