0310L-WEDNESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 01/10/24

DOWNLOAD our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. You will need it this weekend for info from us and the NWS. I will also put info on the City Connect app too.

*Today and Thursday look pretty good and fairly warm. The wind will still put a slight bite in the air but not bad. Take these few days to prepare for cold that we haven’t had in a while. This weekend we will see high temps possibly in the single digits and wind chill temps BELOW ZERO. These temps can be very dangerous as it won’t take long for your skin to freeze if exposed very long. Take the proper precautions and stay safe out there.

*Snow probabilities are low for the system Thursday evening into Friday and over the weekend. It’s the cold air that is the main threat. This will be ARCTIC air so prepare accordingly. I am not going to panic anyone over this as we have experienced this many times before. Just take the proper precautions and everything should hopefully be ok.

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

Today- Sunny. Highs in the lower 50s. Southwest winds 10 to 15 mph, becoming west this afternoon.

Tonight- Mostly clear. Cold with lows in the mid-20s. West winds 5 to 10 mph, becoming south after midnight.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
