...SMOKE SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF IOWA...

A LARGE AREA OF SMOKE FROM WILD FIRES IN NORTHERN CANADA HAS
DESCENDED TO GROUND LEVEL AND MOVED INTO IOWA THIS EVENING. THE
SMOKE WILL BE MOST NOTICEABLE ACROSS ABOUT THE NORTHWEST HALF OF
THE STATE EARLY TONIGHT. ANYONE WITH BREATHING DIFFICULTIES OR
OTHER HEALTH ISSUES...AS WELL AS THE VERY YOUNG AND
ELDERLY...SHOULD CONSIDER AVOIDING OUTSIDE TRAVEL UNTIL THE
SITUATION IMPROVES.
