Smoke, Ozone, and Heat Linger | Dallas News

North Texas gets a brief reprieve from fire danger today with humidity in the 50-60% range and light winds—but don’t relax: the Ross Fire still burns over 85,000 acres, with only 26% contained, and smoke will drift west. An unusual air quality alert warns of ground-level ozone buildup, especially for those with breathing or heart issues.
