The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued an air quality watch in 59 counties for this weekend because of predicted increased levels of fine particles in the air.

The particles primarily come from combustion sources such as power plants and factories, according to the advisory, which will be in effect from 12:30 a.m. today until noon Monday.

People who have asthma, or heart or lung disease are advised to cut back on strenuous activity during the watch.
