0335L-MONDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-3/29/21

1- FIRE WEATHER WATCH and a WIND ADVISORY are in effect from 11 am this morning until 8 pm this evening. South winds 25-35 gusting to 45 are possible. Humidity as low as 20% and temperatures as high as 80 degrees are possible. If you see smoke or fire, call 911 immediately. TO all farmers- NO CONTROLLED BURNING, PLEASE as the winds will increase and all it takes is one spark to get a big fire going.

2- A front will push in on Tuesday shifting winds from the NNE also ushering in cooler temps. High temps after TODAY will average around 60 or so and start to increase again as we near the weekend. Overall, a good week but also a HIGH fire danger. Just be careful out there. Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

 Today-Sunny, windy, warmer. Highs in the upper 70s. South winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph.

Tonight-Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 40s. South winds 15 to 25 mph.

3-FINALLY- thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am doing better since surgery but will be off HEAVY DUTY for a few weeks. I am home now too. I want to publicly thank those folks on the 3rd floor at ST MARYS for taking care of me. They all did a great job, so did the surgeon and his team!

Have a great day and stay alert out there.
