Lakeshore communities, including Door and Kewaunee counties, will be under an air quality alert Wednesday from noon until 11 p.m. According to the National Weather Service, the air quality will be unhealthy for sensitive groups based on Air Quality Index categories. The alert is due to weather conditions conducive to ozone production in the area. Since the air quality could be unhealthy, people with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion while everybody else should reduce it.
The National Weather Service says there is the possibility of thunderstorms later this afternoon and tonight, especially in Central Wisconsin. We will update any warnings or watches if they are issued for Door and Kewaunee counties later today.
