In response to a low-pressure system on the Canadian prairies, stiff southerly breezes will develop in Oklahoma and continue bring northward a maritime tropical air mass with mixture of light Mesoamerican smoke and moderate Saharan dust.  This pattern supports mostly sunny skies with only isolated rain showers; however, the persistent breezes and maritime origin portend low ozone.  Temperatures will increase next week as a heat ridge develops in the Midwestern states, but the steady southerly flow will persist.
