The highest AQ index in Oklahoma (as of 18:00 CDT) is currently the Tulsa area. Particle Pollution (PM10) is measuring at 63 (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 Oklahoma City 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.
A brief cool incursion will bring low clouds and drizzle to Oklahoma today. The mist and haze may bring fine particulate matter into the lower portion of the moderate category. Southerly or southwesterly winds will bring very warm and dry weather back into the state on Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Numerous prescribed and agricultural fires likely will resume across eastern Oklahoma and the Flint Hills of Kansas through next week. Meanwhile, warm, dry, and breezy weather enhances danger of uncontrolled fires, especially in the western parts. Any fires may produce locally healthy smoke and perhaps a broad region of moderate fine particulate matter. Bright sunshine through a dry atmosphere 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.
