0310L-THURSDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-10/26/23

*There were various reports of rainfall around the area. Most had around 1.5 to 2.5 inches and some were quite a bit more around the 4 to 5 inch area. The higher amounts were in the southeast part of the county where rainfall trained through that area on Tuesday. Either way, we received much needed rainfall and now you need to prepare for freezing weather.

*Overnight lows, starting Saturday night appear to drop below freezing to around 30. Monday and Tuesday morning, we could see temps in the mid to upper 20s. After the front moves through Saturday evening, WIND CHILL will become a factor especially in the early morning timeframe. Monitor this closely and dress accordingly if you work outdoors. Windchill temps will bottom out in the MID-TEENS.

*Until then, we have a chance for additional rainfall as this mess moves closer so just stay weather aware and know that cold air is on its way. Prepare now while its warmer so you don’t have to scramble after the temps drop.

*Overall, we’ll be ok so here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;   

Today- Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain after midnight, then mostly sunny. Highs in the upper 70s. South winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 20 percent.

Tonight- Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 50s. South winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.
