0425L-THURSDAY UPDATE FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-2/8/18

1-Remember the graphics showing the area possibly getting some snow and freezing rain? All that has changed once again! WEATHER is an ongoing phenomenon that is always changing. We have to change with it. We may not like it but since we don’t control it, we’ll just deal with it.

2-For today and tomorrow, it’s going to warm up! Keep the coat close as we will get a lot colder once again this weekend. I know many are ill but if you are beginning to feel a little better, find an area where you can sit in the sun for a little bit. It actually should help you feel even better. That’s enough from Dr. Mike.

3- The FIRE DANGER is ELEVATED and remember that we are in a BURN BAN. ABSOLUTELY NO OUTDOOR BURNING. Several are trying to get away with burning trash so hopefully the Sheriff’s office deputies are ticketing these folks. One ember in the wrong place puts a lot of folks in danger and keeps us up all night. Just hang in there.

4- Be sure to download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app and visit our website www.gcem.org

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

Today-Sunny, with a high near 60. South southwest wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Tonight-Mostly clear, with a low around 36. South wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, GET WELL, STAY SAFE
