| The heat dome over the southern Great
Plains will drift westward into the southwestern states during the next
week. Slow southerly breezes will
continue to bring moderate Saharan dust into Oklahoma, and ozone may reach
the moderate category downwind of Dallas.
Scattered rain showers from the monsoon may reach the western
Panhandle almost every day. Isolated
rain showers may develop in other areas on occasion, especially in the
northeastern counties. A weak cold
front may traverse Oklahoma for the weekend, and ozone will increase in its
wake until the southerly flow redevelops.
Otherwise, hot summer weather and Saharan dust will persist deep into
August. |
