First Alert Weather: Hazy into Monday morning, not as hot this week

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAW) -Poor air quality will continue to be a concern Sunday night into Monday morning. Wildfire smoke has been impacting the region from fires in eastern Canada, causing unhealthy breathing conditions for some people. A front will provide chances of showers or a storm on Monday, but not everyone will pick up appreciable rainfall. Pleasant weather is on tap for mid to late week with seasonable temperatures and a fair amount of sunshine.

A First Alert for Sunday night through Monday morning due to wildfire smoke in the region. An Air Quality Advisory is in effect until 8 AM Monday. Those with health challenges or breathing difficulties may not want to spend too much time outside through Monday morning, along with young children and older adults limiting time outdoors.
