(MSC News)--On the heels of Friday's special weather statement from Bill Spencer, Chief Meteorologist for the MSC Radio Network, regarding the air quality due to Canadian wildfire smoke inside the local area, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory.

That's due to what a release from the agency Friday morning says are light northeast to east winds bringing the smoke into the state, especially in central and eastern Kansas, with the conditions likely to persist both Friday and Saturday.

The release notes that the Air Quality Index, or AQI, will likely range from Moderate to Unhealthy at times, with healthy people told to limit or avoid strenuous outdoor exercise, while the more vulnerable should remain indoors until the smoke clears the region.
