0345L-FRIDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-9/18/2020

1- Seasonal weather for at least the next week or so. Highs will be in the low 80s and overnight lows will be in the mid-50s. The Fire Danger will slowly be climbing so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for any smoke or fire. You know what to do if you see any.

2- We will be hazy again today from the smoke due to the fires out west. Due to the upper flow pattern that we are in at this time that haze will be around until they can get a handle on the fires and the upper flow shifts a little.  Looking at satellite pics and loops, there are numerous fires all over the western United States. Here is a link to see what’s going on with the fires anywhere in the US: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/

3-Overall, we’ll be ok so get outside and enjoy the weather but stay aware of air quality from this smoke. There is a possibility that it could affect your respiratory system. Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

Today-Partly cloudy. Haze. Highs in the lower 80s. Light and variable winds becoming east around 10 mph in the afternoon.

Tonight-Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 50s. East winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
