Southeast Wisconsin Extends Air Quality Advisory Through Monday Noon as Smoke Returns
3 articles · Updated · WISN Milwaukee · Jul 18
Summary
Southeast Wisconsin remains under an air quality advisory until noon Monday, with the thickest smoke expected Sunday morning before stronger winds gradually disperse it later in the day.
Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources forecasts unhealthy air across the entire state Sunday, extending another round of smoke-driven pollution into the weekend.
Monday then shifts from smoke to storm risk: highs near 90 and rising humidity ahead of an evening cold front could trigger strong to severe thunderstorms.
The advisory follows a broader North American smoke episode tied to Canadian wildfire activity that has already pushed dangerous air across large parts of the Midwest and beyond.
