The wind is shifting to be coming from the north and west. The smoke should clear up pretty quickly up in the BWCA once this front hits.

What are your thoughts? Anyone else heading in Fri morning? Heading through Agnes to llc. What circumstances do you cancel a trip?

Smoke shouldn’t be a problem this weekend. Wind, rain, cold, and possibly snow might all be reasons to push your trip back.

I also have asthma and I just got home after being on Smoke Lake for a few days. LOL . Smoke Lake. Definitely hazy but I was fine. This morning at home in central MN having coffee with the windows open I can taste it and feel it in my lungs.

I am in Thief River Falls MN a couple hundred miles west of Ely.
Yesterday I didn’t go out because the smoke was very bad.
Today we are close to normal. With the weather moving that way I would imagine it would be good over there in a day or two.
Have a good trip and be careful with fires.

The weekend of 5/31 - 6/2 has "unhealthy for everyone" levels of air quality due to Canadian wildfire smoke. The sunrise and sunset colors have been deep, rich red.
