The more seasonable weather that accompanied this week's cold front will last through today, helping keep ozone concentrations in the Moderate/Yellow category for areas north of I-40 and for areas along I-35. The heat returns beginning tomorrow until late next week; however, ozone conditions are expected to be largely in the Good/Green category thanks to strong southwesterly winds that will kick up this weekend. Air quality will be Good for both ozone and particulate matter statewide this weekend, with the potential for localized areas of low Moderate conditions.
