๐ What to Expect:
Saturday, July 18, 2026, Air Quality Alert covers the upper peninsula, and the northern half of the lower peninsula
Sunday, July 19, 2026, will be a Statewide Air Quality Alert
Smoke has improved across the southern portion of Michigan early Saturday; however, another plume is forecast to track through the state Saturday, lasting into Sunday. The upper peninsula will be most affected by the smoke on Saturday with fine particulate levels deteriorating from north to south through Saturday. Concentrations will be high enough across northern areas to warrant an Air Quality Alert for Saturday, and by Sunday levels will be high enough to warrant another statewide Alert. With smoke lingering across the state, ozone also has the potential to increase quickly.
It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory conditions like asthma. Watch for symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. You can help reduce air pollution by limiting activities, such as: - outdoor burning; - use of residential wood burning devices. Tips for households: - Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters.
