| Mild temperatures this morning mark the
start of a warming trend that could bring record heat by the weekend.
Persistent dry air and south winds will keep fire danger elevated statewide,
becoming near‑critical across western and central Oklahoma on Sunday.
Overall air quality should stay generally good today for much of the state.
However, conditions will be less healthy in and around the Lawton, Oklahoma
City, and Tulsa metro areas, as well as near recent burns and downwind of any
active fires, where smoke and other pollutants may build up enough to push
air quality into the moderate range. |
