Oklahoma's metro areas and the northwestern portion of the state will see ozone concentrations well into the Moderate/Yellow category today. Current expectations are for the OKC area to see ozone concentrations in the "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups"/Orange category, while Tulsa and Lawton have the potential to see ozone concentrations reach the Orange category as well. Tomorrow, due to a moist airmass over the region and the potential for storms across the state, the ozone forecast is more uncertain. However, current expectations are for Moderate ozone conditions across the state, as well as Moderate particulate matter concentrations.
