Just a reminder: "The Iowa DNR has issued an Air Quality Alert for all of Iowa, effective through 6 a.m. Thursday, June 5.
Intermittent heavy smoke is expected to impact most of Iowa over the next few days at levels considered unhealthy for sensitive groups or even unhealthy for healthy individuals. Sensitive groups include people with respiratory illness or heart disease, children, teenagers, the elderly, and outdoor workers.
The DNR recommends that people avoid long or intense outdoor
activities and take frequent breaks until the air quality improves." -National Weather Service.
