Smoke From Canadian Wildfires Blankets the Upper Midwest
Smoke from wildfires raging across Canada continued to choke parts of the Upper Midwest on Tuesday, polluting the air for millions of residents and casting a hazy glow in the skies across several northern states. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and parts of Nebraska and Michigan were under air quality alerts on Tuesday, with advisories for more vulnerable groups to stay indoors or limit long stretches of outdoor activity and monitor their health, according to the National Weather Service. While smoke was blanketing the air in the upper Midwest, it also drifted into others areas, mainly in higher layers of the atmosphere, and covered at least a third of the United States. Marc Chenard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center, said satellite imagery showed smoke stretched from the Dakotas, across the Midwest, into the Ohio Valley and as far north as New York and as far south as north Florida on the East Coast. 'A lot of the smoke is aloft in the atmosphere, so you're not seeing visibility or air quality issues at the surface,' he said. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issued an air quality alert on Tuesday for all of Iowa through 6 a.m. on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, with levels considered unhealthy for sensitive groups and possibly even for healthy individuals expected over the next few days. Residents were advised to limit outdoor activity until the air quality improved. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Much of Wisconsin in air quality alert due to Candian wildfire smoke
The Department of Natural Resources issued an air quality alert for north, central and northeastern Wisconsin, due to wildfire smoke making its way south from Canada. The June 3 advisory comes as northern Wisconsin residents experience hazier air quality from northerly winds carrying surface smoke, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Taylor Patterson. "It was to the point where people could smell it," Patterson said. The National Weather Service warns that heavy surface smoke may move south through the state on June 3. Because of a south-moving cold front bringing rain across Wisconsin on June 3, the impacts of the smoke are predicted to be felt statewide, according to the weather service. The NWS is advising sensitive groups, including individuals with asthma or heart disease, to reschedule outdoor activities or move them inside. The smoke is coming from wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Rising heat, winds, and dry air sparked blazes in those Canadian provinces. Thousands have been evacuated.

Canada wildfires create heavy smoke that's expected to reach the US: See photos
The heavy smoke from the active wildfires in Canada is expected to hit parts of the United States. Rising heat, winds, and dry air sparked blazes in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, according to the country's Department of Natural Resources. Residents in the United States are expected to face poor air quality from the fires as soon as May 30. The fires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres in both provinces and resulted in the evacuation of at least 17,000 people, in what officials are calling "a very serious situation." Smoke from the blazes is expected to fall heavily over Midwestern states, including Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, and cut across the country to reach the Carolinas by May 31, according to FireSmoke Canada, a team of forecasters at the University of British Columbia. Natural Diasters: Photos show Swiss village buried in debris after glacier collapse Authorities in Minnesota, which began to feel the impact of the blazes on May 29, warned of unhealthy levels of exposure to fine particles from the wildfires. Symptoms include everything from shortness of breath to heart attack and stroke. Taylor Ardrey is a news reporter for USA TODAY.
