Large fires in Woodward county will likely locally elevate both Ozone and Particulate levels in that area today. Light winds and sunshine will likely push ozone into the moderate category for most of the state today.  An approaching cold front will bring overcast conditions Tuesday through Wednesday as it passes through the state. This cloud cover along with cool temperatures will mitigate ozone development through this timeframe, and the cold front will clear out any existing pollution as it passes through Tuesday evening. Light southerly winds and clear skies will return Thursday, creating an opportunity for ozone to climb back into the moderate category for the rest of the week. A boundary is expected to stall along the I-44 corridor Saturday, causing the possibility for ozone and particulate buildup to the south of I-44.
