Rain from the former tropical storm washes away air pollution in Texas and limits inbound transport on a southerly breeze into Oklahoma.  Ozone buildup will resume beneath the heat dome over the weekend.  Very late episodes of Saharan dust also will reach Oklahoma in the coming week.  An increase in monsoon activity will enhance scattered showers in the Panhandle, but elsewhere, hot, dry weather will enhance fire danger through the period.  Any fires may produce locally unhealthy smoke.
