Ample winds pushed by a low-pressure system have kicked dirty air out of Minnesota sooner than expected, leading the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on Wednesday to cancel an air advisory.
The advisory, issued Monday, was to run through Saturday for ozone and particulate pollution building up during an extended period of hot, stagnant air. But the approaching storm system has circulated the air better than expected.
The advisory had been issued for much of Minnesota, from Duluth south. Air quality index readings across Minnesota should peak daily in the low to mid-moderate range -- approximately 51 to 65 on the Air Quality Index -- which will be well below health thresholds.
