0415L-SATURDAY OUTLOOK AND INFO FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MGMT-6/6/2020

1-HOT AND DRY will be the normal for the next week or so. For those that enjoy the heat, here you go!! For those that don’t, colder weather will be back in about 3-5 months.

2-Speaking of heat, make sure you hydrate properly BEFORE going outside to mow, play ball, or whatever you might do. It doesn’t take long for the heat to overcome you especially if you’re not properly hydrated so BE CAREFUL AND TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS. If you notice you’re NOT sweating and you get light headed, these are signs you are close to being in trouble. Take a break, drink liquids, and cool off. If you feel worse then get medical help immediately. See attached graph.

3-Overall, we’ll be hot and dry so again, pace yourself outdoors. Here is your forecast from the NWS NORMAN;

Saturday-Sunny and hot with a high near 99. SSE winds 10-15 mph gusting to 20 mph.

Saturday Night-Clear with a low around 72. SSE winds 10-15 mph gusting to 20 mph.

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND STAY COOL!
