Unhealthy Air Alert for Southern Minnesota
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air pollution health advisory for the southern half of Minnesota.
It will be in effect until conditions change, which is expected to be Sunday when a cold front moves through the state.
The PCA says warmer temperatures, moisture and low winds are producing conditions that may affect the health of certain residents, especially those with pre-existing cardiovascular or respiratory disease, the elderly, children, and people who participate in activities requiring extended or heavy exertion, both indoors and outdoors.
