| For today and tomorrow in eastern Oklahoma,
southerly winds will continue to provide ample moisture for scattered
thunderstorms and good air quality apart from some light Mesoamerican
smoke. In western Oklahoma, dry winds
and mostly sunny skies will contribute to very high fire danger and allow
ozone to rise into the moderate category.
The stiff breezes may loft locally unhealthy dust in the
drought-stricken Panhandle and adjacent counties. On Saturday morning, a cold front will
bring a clean, dry air mass.
Prescribed and agricultural burning on the Flint Hills in may result
in widespread smoke in parts of northeastern Oklahoma, but southerly winds
will return early next week and redirect this smoke away from Oklahoma. Dry and sunny weather may result in
moderate ozone until subtropical moisture and scattered showers return toward
the middle of next week. |
