Wildfire smoke returns to Minnesota Sunday amid string of quiet weather days
Wildfire smoke returns to Minnesota on Sunday, sweeping in from the northwest to the southeast.
An air quality alert is in effect for all of Minnesota from 9 a.m. Sunday through 9 a.m. Tuesday. In the metro on south, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency says the air will be unhealthy for sensitive groups, while it'll be unhealthy for all groups in northern Minnesota.
With high pressure building in, a quiet pattern sets up Sunday into early next week, with a mix of sun and clouds and low storm chances.
High temps stay seasonably warm in the mid 80s most of the week until climbing into the upper 80s later in the week.
Storm chances start to pick back up on Monday evening across northern Minnesota, and there's a chance for storms to return towards the end of the week as well.
