From the weather service (this is a new one)



...SMOKE FROM NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA WILD FIRE SPREADING INTO

NORTHERN ILLINOIS...




SMOKE FROM A LARGE WILDFIRE OVER NORTHEAST MINNESOTA HAS BEEN


MOVING INTO FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS THIS AFTERNOON...DUE TO


NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT WHICH MOVED ACROSS THE AREA


EARLY THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH THE FIRE IS MORE THAN 400 MILES


NORTHWEST OF THE AREA...THE COMBINATION OF SINKING AIR AND


NORTHERLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT HAS TRANSPORTED SMOKE ALL THE WAY


INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE SMOKE WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH THE


AFTERNOON AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BEFORE WINDS BECOME MORE


WESTERLY IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT WHICH WILL APPROACH


EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SMOKE WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SPREAD TO


THE SOUTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST


INDIANA THROUGH THIS EVENING. EXPECT HAZY SKIES AND A DISTINCT


BURNING ODOR.




EMERGENCY MANAGERS REPORT THAT SMOKE IS


PREVALENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO REPORT DIFFICULTY BREATHING


AND BURNING OF THEIR EYES.




INDIVIDUALS WITH RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS SHOULD USE CAUTION WHILE


SMOKE AFFECTS THE AREA.
