Air quality to remain poor across Michigan through Monday
State officials say poor air quality is expected to persist 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.

Smoke starting to clear out of Minnesota as clouds move in
Wildfire smoke will continue to exit Minnesota on Sunday, helping air quality improve as we wrap up the weekend. Some air quality alerts may be allowed to expire early Sunday, as levels have improved to the yellow category overnight. Clouds pick up a little more across the state, keeping high temps into the upper 70s in the afternoon. With some energy aloft, a few showers are falling across western Minnesota, but they will struggle to move east, so the metro largely stays dry Sunday. Humidity will increase into the middle/end of the week, helping to turn the forecast a bit more active with several waves of energy sparking daily storm chances. Spotty showers are anticipated Monday and Tuesday, mainly for western Minnesota. Temps warm through the week and reach the upper 80s by Thursday or Friday.
