Wildfire Threat and Rainy Weekend


When most people think of spring they thing of rain, yet this spring is starting out to be a dry one for Oklahoma. Due to the dry conditions there will be a increased threat for wildfires in the next few days with Wednesday having the highest risk of wildfires. The risk will be highest on Wednesday because the air will be relatively dry and there will be strong winds allowing the smallest fire to spread rapidly. In the next few days burning is highly discouraged. 

Sunday will give us a break from the dry conditions with a chance of rain and thunderstorms as a cold front will be moving through the state that day. 
Temperatures for the remainder of the week will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s.
As the cold front moves through the state Sunday, temperatures will start to decrease making Monday's high in the low 60s.
