NWS reports the smoke from these fires is pushing into the Midwest.

The National Weather Service says, “at this time, it appears as though the smoke will stay aloft and not mix down to the surface over Upper Michigan this weekend.”

There is only a moderate air quality concern for those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
