0500L-TUESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-01/010/23

1- GARFIELD COUNTY EM is our notification and preparedness app. Many feel they don’t want or need this app to be ready for just about anything. When disaster strikes and nothing, even cellular connectivity, doesn’t work, at least the app information will. YOUR CHOICE!!

2- Windy conditions will begin later today and the fire danger increases dramatically out west as a shortwave trough with a strong mid-level jet move our way from the southwest along with a fairly strong cold front from the north Wednesday evening. All this mess comes with no rainfall and of course, the gusty winds.  As always, if you happen to see smoke and or fire, call 911 asap.

3- We remain in an EXTREME DROUGHT so just keep your eyes peeled and we would prefer that no controlled burning occur.

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

Today- Sunny. Highs in the mid-60s. South winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight- Partly cloudy in the evening, then clearing. Lows in the upper 30s. Southwest winds around 5 mph, becoming west after midnight.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
