Air quality to remain poor across Michigan through Monday
An air quality advisory is in effect for the entire state through Monday, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy.
Wildfire smoke from Canada, which has plagued Michigan since Thursday, will start to move out on Monday, state officials say, though there is a chance of smoke moving in from the south the same day.
Pollutants are expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups, with conditions in some northern areas being unhealthy for everyone.
As of Sunday morning, Detroit's air quality is among the top 50 cities in the world with the worst air quality, according to IQAir.
High temperatures will be in the low 80s on Sunday across Southeast Michigan, with heat and humidity levels slowly rising toward the end of next week.

Where is all the wildfire smoke in the Denver metro area coming from?
Several rounds of wildfire smoke have been moving into Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and communities up and down the I-25 corridor this week. Most of the smoke is coming from three active wildfires on Colorado's Western Slope: the Lee Fire, Elk Fire and Turner Gulch Fire. Starting early Tuesday evening, residents in the Denver metro area may have noticed that the smoke overhead appeared thicker. This was a direct result of increased fire behavior earlier Tuesday afternoon on the Western Slope. Another noticeably thick round of wildfire smoke, coming from the same fires, is anticipated to arrive Wednesday night. With winds blowing out of the west, smoke from these fires is carried into the atmosphere and funneled to the I-25 corridor. This results in smoke arriving in waves. As fire activity increases, so does the size and density of the smoke plume. During calmer periods, when winds weaken, less smoke is transported along the Front Range, leading to temporary improvements in air quality. The Elk Fire was listed at over 7,000 acres on Tuesday and the Lee Fire has burned more than 13,000 acres. Both are close to the town of Meeker. The Turner Gulch Fire, not far from the town of Gateway, is 49% contained and has burned more than 22,000 acres.

The rise of Lake Shasta in incredible before-and-after images
The fluctuation of Lake Shasta since 2021 ... California's largest reservoir might be on the rise again for the fourth straight year, which is another welcomed sight from back in 2021 when the water levels were at all-time lows due to severe drought conditions. Shasta Lake had been hovering over 70% capacity at the start of 2025, with the possibility of wet weather ahead creating a "too full" situation — a first in over 15 years. Since then, the levels are just 31 feet below full. Images captured of Lake Shasta over the past four years have shown the epic rises and falls ...
