| Thunderstorms with widespread rain cleanse
the atmosphere of pollution, so mostly good air quality will prevail for the
next several days. Ozone may reach the
moderate category downwind of Dallas and on days with several hours of
afternoon sunshine. A storm on the
northern Great Plains will induce strong southerly winds that will bring
light Mesoamerican smoke northward during the weekend. Locally unhealthy blowing dust and high
fire danger may affect dry spots in the Panhandle and western Oklahoma. Locally heavy rain will develop toward the
middle of next week, and more showery weather will continue afterward. |
