Wildfire smoke and health alerts: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency expanded a red air-quality alert across the Twin Cities metro and much of east central, southeast, south central and northeast Minnesota, warning fine smoke particles will be unhealthy for everyone through Monday morning, with some areas possibly easing later Sunday but more heavy smoke expected from the south. Northern Minnesota fires: Officials say wildfires in the BWCA and surrounding areas have burned nearly 69,000 acres, with changing weather raising the risk of renewed fire activity and continued evacuations/closures. Burning restrictions: Starting Monday, enhanced DNR burning limits will prohibit campfires and most recreational burning in parts of northern/northeastern Minnesota, with tighter rules on permits and open flames. Boundary Waters mining fight: A Senate vote to reopen mining in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest could upend decades of Forest Service management plans, potentially triggering legal chaos for thousands of permits tied to the Boundary Waters region. Local public safety: MnDOT seal-coating work will cause lane closures and delays on several southeastern Minnesota highways starting Monday, including Highway 60 near Zumbro Falls and Highway 14 near Rochester. Sports (Minnesota): The Cubs routed the Twins 10-1 on Sunday, while Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards again weighed in on LeBron James rumors, saying the Timberwolves aren’t in James’s reported top three.
