| Numerous prescribed and agricultural fires
continue across eastern Oklahoma and the Flint Hills of Kansas through the
forecast period. Meanwhile, warm, dry,
and breezy weather enhances very high fire danger in the western
counties. Any fires may produce
locally healthy smoke, and the combination may generate a broad region of
moderate fine particulate matter. A
cold front will interrupt the unseasonable dry heat tomorrow, but southerly
winds and unseasonably warm, dry weather will resume for next week, so bright
sunshine will enhance ozone production especially near and north of large
urban areas. Long-range models suggest
some rain showers at least in the eastern counties for Easter. |
