The highest AQ index in Oklahoma (as of 15:00 CDT) is currently the Tulsa area. Ozone (OZONE) is measuring at 122 (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups). This means members of sensitive groups may experience health effects. The general public is less likely to be affected.
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.
The heat dome over the southern Great Plains will drift westward into the southwestern states during the next week. Slow southerly breezes will continue to bring moderate Saharan dust into Oklahoma, and ozone may reach the moderate category downwind of Dallas. Scattered rain showers from the monsoon may reach the western Panhandle almost every day. Isolated rain showers may develop in other areas on occasion, especially in the northeastern counties. A weak cold front may traverse Oklahoma for the weekend, and ozone will increase in its wake until the southerly flow redevelops. Otherwise, hot summer weather and Saharan dust will persist deep into August.
