0310L-WEDNESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 01/17/24

*Warm temps are forecast for the area today and for a while on Thursday before another ARCTIC intrusion occurs. We could see temps in the upper 30s to low 40s. The only issue here will be the winds. They will average 15-20 mph with gusts upwards of 35mph. There goes that warm feeling.

*All the above said, you can find OKLAHOMA ROAD CONDITIONS HERE- https://ok.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Viewer/index.html?appid=023e821ebf7b4acd999ccfd58d92c3da 

Many folks have been calling asking about this. Just FYI, Road conditions for all states around Oklahoma can be found on the gcem.org website. Just scroll down halfway on the front page and you’ll find them.

*As you’ll see in future forecasts, there may be an issue come Monday with some freezing rain in the state.
