0420L-TUESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-8/31/21

1- HEAT, HUMIDITY, & the HEAT INDEX will be the main issues this week. Use EXTREME CAUTION while doing anything related to fire. Also, we have had several fires around the county lately. Be careful doing any controlled burning as fire can create its own weather environment.

2- For the most part, rain should hold off for us until later this week. We’ll see how that comes about as the forecast verifies. Here is your forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

Today- Sunny, with a high near 96. Heat index values as high as 102. Light south wind increasing to 5 to 10 mph in the morning.

Tonight-Mostly clear, with a low around 70. South southeast wind 6 to 10 mph.

FINALLY- Be sure and download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. You may not feel you need it now but you will need it in the future.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
