Additional details, Canadian wildfire smoke has entered northwest Wisconsin Thursday and will continue to move to the southeast through the remainder of the day. On Friday, smoke will begin moving south, including down Lake Michigan and into Green Bay, impacting central Wisconsin and eastern areas as well. It remains unclear how far south a smoke will make it down Lake Michigan, so we've extended the advisory all the way to Kenosha County.
