The highest AQ index in Oklahoma (as of 18:00 CDT) is currently the Miami area. Particle Pollution (PM2.5) is measuring at 61 (Moderate). This means air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Over the next few days, the highest Ozone (OZONE) will be in the Lawton area. It is forecasted to be Moderate, meaning air quality is acceptable. However, there may be a risk for some people, particularly those who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.
Bright sunshine beneath the heat dome will contribute to an increase in ozone today. Because the El Niño contributed to a protracted drought in the Caribbean basin, very late episodes of Saharan dust and Mesoamerican smoke also bring fine particulate matter into the lower part of the moderate category. An increase in monsoon activity will enhance scattered showers in the Panhandle, but elsewhere, hot, dry weather with only isolated showers enhances high fire danger through the period. Any fires may produce locally unhealthy smoke. It the southerly breezes diminish early next week, then ozone in urban areas and in the very dry western counties may increase near or beyond the top of the moderate category.
