FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK...LIMITED.
AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
ONSET...ONGOING.
DISCUSSION...
SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS 25 TO 35 MPH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST
OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. THESE WINDS, ALONG WITH WARM
TEMPERATURES, WILL INCREASE THE GRASSLAND FIRE SPREAD RATES ACROSS
THE REGION. ANY FIRE STARTS COULD SPREAD QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY INTO THE OVERNIGHT ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. A
WIND ADVISORY WILL GO INTO EFFECT AT 1 AM FOR WIND GUSTS UP TO 40
MPH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... SPOTTER
ACTIVATION NOT EXPECTED.
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN
SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER...
...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A STRONG AND FAST MOVING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY. GUSTY WINDS WILL BE ONGOING AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND FURTHER
INCREASE ONCE THE FRONT PASSES. FREQUENT GUSTS OF 40 TO 55 MPH ARE
FORECAST ONCE THE FRONT PASSES ACROSS ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS TO PERSIST FROM
SUNRISE SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING BEFORE GRADUALLY DECREASING
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. A WIND ADVISORY WILL GO INTO EFFECT FROM 1 AM
SUNDAY UNTIL 1 AM MONDAY. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. A FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY
HAZARD. ANY STORMS THAT DO FORM WILL MOVE RAPIDLY EASTWARD WITH
THE ADVANCING FRONT. FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL ALSO WORSEN ON
SUNDAY DESPITE FALLING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE
STRONG WINDS AND ABUNDANCE OF DRY GRASSES WILL ALLOW ANY FIRE
STARTS TO SPREAD RAPIDLY. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY AT TIMES THROUGH
THE DAY MONDAY. WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN ON TUESDAY AS GUSTY
SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURN. THIS WILL AGAIN RAISE GRASSLAND FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS. DRY WEATHER AND UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURE
PREVAIL FOR LATE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
