0340L-SATURDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-1/30/21

1- GARFIELD COUNTY EM- I have stated all week why you need our app. Always remember that YOU are responsible for you and yours. PREPAREDNESS=RESILIENCE

2- Warmer but mostly windy today and a front is coming towards us. The wind gradient will be very tight thus the winds. Frontal passage (FROPA) will occur around mid-day then winds will shift from southerly to northerly and ramp up to 30-40 mph with possibly higher gusts.

 3- Overall, we’ll be ok but just be careful while driving on east/west roads. We may also have some thunderstorm activity but we don’t expect severe weather here. Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;
