Worsening Drought

Tonight

Breezy south winds and low humidity will combine with the persistent drought conditions Friday, resulting in continued fire weather concerns and the potential for rapid fire spread Friday afternoon. Take care to avoid behaviors that may cause a spark and inadvertently start a fire.

County burn bans are in effect for parts of eastern Oklahoma and northwest and west central Arkansas.

Persistent drought across eastern Oklahoma and northwest and west central Arkansas means that days with low relative humidities and gusty winds will lead to an increased threat for wildfire development. Most wildfires are caused by humans, and there are things YOU can do NOW and also on higher threat days to prevent starting one.

Continued dry conditions have led to worsening drought across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. With the exception of portions of east-central Oklahoma, severe drought has expanded across much of the area. Additionally, 38% of the NWS Tulsa forecast area is currently experiencing extreme drought (shaded in red).

Mostly clear skies and low temperatures in the mid 30s to mid 40s are forecast tonight.
