MINNESOTA — An air quality alert is in effect for Minnesota beginning Sunday.
“Heavy surface smoke from many wildfires across central Saskatchewan and Manitoba will wrap around the backside of an area of low pressure this weekend as the low moves east across south central Canada,” the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency said.
Poor air quality will most likely impact western Minnesota beginning Sunday morning, and then expand further east through the evening. Heavy smoke should then disperse from west to east across the state from Monday into Tuesday morning.
The alert is in effect until 9 a.m. on Tuesday.
