0400L-WEDNESDAY OUTLOOK FROM GARFIELD COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT-3/31/21

1- FREEZE WATCH in effect from 0300 until 0900 Thursday morning. Sub-freezing temps as low as 30 degrees are possible in Alfalfa, Garfield, Grant, Kay, Kingfisher, & Major Counties. Overall, it will be chilly but we’ll be ok. It would be a good idea to protect young plants by covering them and disconnecting hoses that may have been reconnected. Be sure to download our GARFIELD COUNTY EM app. It just might save your life!!

2- The FIRE DANGER is still around it appears it will be for the foreseeable future. After reading the Spring 2021 Outlook, it appears we will slowly transition into mild drought conditions. This doesn’t mean we won’t see any precip but it does mean that we will definitely see dryer conditions as we move into spring and summer. We’ll see what happens for sure. Keep that eye out for smoke and fire and call 911 if you see any. A quick response is important especially when the winds are up.

3- Here is your countywide forecast from the NWS/NORMAN;

Today-Partly cloudy early in the morning then clearing. Highs in the lower 60s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight-Clear. Lows in the lower 30s. Northeast winds around 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!
