| Dry, northerly winds are creating critical
fire weather conditions in the western part of the state. The potential for
blowing dust and localized wildland fire smoke will continue through the
weekend. Ongoing fires in the southern and eastern portions of the state may
lead to localized areas of smoke with AQI scores in the Yellow/Moderate
category, particularly around the McAlester area. However, in the wake of
this morning's cold front, air quality will generally be in the Good/Green
category across much of the state this weekend. |
