Scattered rain showers and southerly breezes will persist through the next week.  Nevertheless, patches of Saharan dust will continue to cause moderate air quality today.  Ozone may reach the moderate category only when sunny spots coincide with urban areas and in drier parts of western Oklahoma.  Although a storm on the Canadian prairies will induce enough of an increase in the southerly wind to bring a clean maritime tropical air mass into Oklahoma after tomorrow, another round of Saharan dust may reach Oklahoma in time for the weekend.
