Dry, cool winter sunshine and light winds will prevail for the larger part of this week.  Despite some melting, the snow cover will foster a persistent inversion to trap particle pollution near the surface.  Southerly winds and briefly warmer conditions will precede an Arctic incursion and possible winter storm for the weekend.  Cold weather will persist through and beyond next week, but the extent of particle pollution depends on snow cover. Today's AQI should be in the "Good" range west of Oklahoma City with "Moderate" range to the west.
