DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - The smell of smoke in the Twin Ports and across much of northeastern Minnesota Tuesday morning can be traced to wildfires in northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air pollution health alert due to the elevated particles in the air through early afternoon. Groups sensitive to that type of pollution might want to postpone or reduce vigorous outdoor activity. The health alert includes most of northeast Minnesota including Duluth, International Falls and Grand Portage. A wind shift and potential showers later today is expected to clear out the smoke and improve the air quality.
