| Southerly winds brought light Mesoamerican
smoke to Oklahoma overnight, but ample moisture will contribute to scattered
thunderstorms overnight. West of the
dryline, strong winds and mostly sunny skies will contribute to very high
fire danger, loft locally unhealthy dust, and allow ozone to rise into the
moderate category. After the
thunderstorms, a sharp cold front will bring a clean, dry air mass and
restore good air quality. Prescribed
and agricultural burning on the Flint Hills in may result in widespread smoke
in parts of northeastern Oklahoma until southerly winds will return early
next week and blow it away. The dry
and sunny weather may result in moderate ozone until subtropical moisture and
scattered showers return toward the middle of next week. |
