Skies over much of Minnesota looked — and smelled — clearer and cleaner Sunday, with the most troublesome air from Canadian wildfires moving east into Wisconsin. But state and federal air quality monitors still are predicting sections of unhealthy air for people with sensitivity through Monday at noon.

Wildfire smoke pouring into the state from Canadian fires has triggered a red air quality alert, signaling that the air is unhealthy for anyone and everyone to breath. The alert, issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, is in effect until 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, for large portions of the state, including the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.
