Light to moderate winds, warm temperatures, abundant afternoon sunshine, and/or increased incoming background levels could be enough for ozone to reach the middle to upper end of the "Moderate" range in parts of the El Paso area and the upper end of the "Good" range (perhaps with an isolated low "Moderate" or two) in parts of the Midland-Odessa area, with highest concentrations in the afternoon and early evening.

Light amounts of smoke from ongoing widespread wildfire activity across the Western U.S. may continue to spread over the state from the north, expanding to cover much of the state with the exception of South and Southwest Texas. The majority of the smoke will likely remain aloft, but enough could reach the surface for the daily PM2.5 AQI to reach the middle to upper end of the "Moderate" range in parts of the Amarillo area; the lower to middle end of the "Moderate" range in parts of the Beaumont-Port Arthur, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Tyler-Longview areas; possibly the lower end of the "Moderate" range in parts of the Austin, El Paso, Lubbock, Victoria, and Waco-Killeen areas; and the upper end of the "Good" range (perhaps with an isolated low "Moderate" or two) in parts of the Corpus Christi, Midland-Odessa, and San Antonio areas.

Otherwise and elsewhere across South and Southwest Texas and the Permian Basin, moderate winds, heavy cloud cover with precipitation, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots.
