Statewide
Discussion: Fire
danger will be high to very high
across Oklahoma today and tomorrow. Relative humidity values in the low 20% to
30% range are expected with temperatures in the 60-70 degree range. Southerly winds are forecast each day from
10-20 mph with higher gusts. The hard
freeze that occurred overnight in much of the state will allow fine fuels to
fully cure and increase their availability to burn. Any fire starting today or tomorrow in fully
cured fuels has the potential to burn intensely with moderate to rapid rates of
spread.
There
are no Burn Bans currently in effect in Oklahoma. For the most current information on Burn Bans
