DNR Says Canadian Wildfire Smoke May Return this Weekend

Friday, July 14th, 2023 -- 10:01 AM

(Bob Hague, WRN) Another hazy weekend appears to be tap on for Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources expects smoke from Canadian wildfires will once again drift into Wisconsin beginning on Friday and continuing into Saturday. While the DNR does not expect air quality to be as severely impacted as it was in late June.

When Wisconsin had the unenviable distinction of having the worst air quality on the planet, the agency is asking people to be prepared. Forecasts were still being analyzed on Thursday, but it appears northern Wisconsin will be most severely impacted, and its possible air quality advisories may be issued.
