| Stiff dry breezes will bring very high fire
danger today and tomorrow. Some
ongoing fires produced enough smoke overnight to bring the air quality index
into the moderate category today in McAlester, and any additional fires may
cause locally unhealthy smoke. Strong
wind also may loft some blowing dust near areas of bare soil. Away from these areas of smoke and dust,
good air quality will prevail. A cold
front may bring some snow flurries on Saturday. A series of cold fronts will alternate with
warm but very dry downslope flow through next week. This pattern brings clean air apart from
some fires. |
