0400L-SATURDAY UPDATE FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-3/3/18

Visit our website at www.gcem.org and download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. You’ll need it in the very near future.

1-“ELEVATED GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER” FROM 9 AM THIS MORNING UNTIL 9 PM TONIGHT. STRONG WINDS, LOW HUMIDITY, ALONG WITH WARM TEMPS ARE COMPONENTS FOR ANY FIRE THAT STARTS TODAY.

2-CONTROLLED BURNING IS “NOT” ADVISED.

3-MARGINAL RISK for possibly some severe weather but don’t hold your breath quite yet. With a large storm system in the NE U.S., this slows a few things down in the atmosphere. We’ll see how this plays out in future data sets.

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

Saturday-mostly sunny, with a high near 68. South wind 15 to 25 mph gusting to 35 mph.

Saturday Night-Mostly cloudy, with a low around 52. SSE winds 15 to 20 mph gusting to 30 mph.

REPORT ANY SMOKE AND OR FIRE TO 911 and HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
