1- Are you Prepared? Download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app and you will be.

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

Thursday-Mostly sunny. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the morning. Hot with highs around 101. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Thursday Night-Partly cloudy. Humid with lows in the mid-70s. Southeast winds 5 to 10 mph.

3- The heat will continue with a slight chance for thunderstorms. If any storms do develop in our area, downdraft winds would be our biggest threat. This means as storms build up, rain out, and then eventually collapse, those winds would become the issue. We’ll see what happens.

4- If you see smoke or fire, call 911 so a quick response can be dispatched.

Finally, STAY HYDRATED and PACE yourselves outdoors. Don’t forget your pets, the heat affects them too.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
