0400L-MONDAY OUTLOOK FROM ENID/GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-12/31/18

1- Today is the last day of 2018. Where did it go? Seems like the older I get, the faster it goes! In 2019 and FYI, the information you see from me on Facebook and Twitter is also posted on our gcem.org website’s front page each day. This said, I wanted to put a paragraph into this morning’s post from this past Friday’s email that I send out over another network.

2- Being your warning coordinator, information from this office will come to you via email, Facebook Posts and live broadcasts and we will be doing YouTube live soon. The main thing you need to have is our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. Then you’ll receive what I call NO-HYPE INFORMATION. You can read it, absorb it, understand it, and then you can breathe deeply and relax simply because we WILL survive!! You will also need to understand that LOCAL emergency information will come from this office and we’ll send that info to our local radio stations, bloggers, and our local newspaper folks and they, in turn, will share it with you. We are all one voice working together to give you information you need to make rational decisions based on fact and logic, not emotion.  “If I am not in a panic, you shouldn’t be either”.

3- Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

Today- Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain early in the morning, then partly cloudy in the late morning and afternoon. Highs in the upper 40s with south winds around 10 mph shifting to the west 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Chance of rain is 20 percent.

Tonight- Partly cloudy and colder with lows around 18. North winds 15 to 20 mph.

HAVE A SUPER DAY AND HAVE A SAFE NEW YEAR’S EVE.
