Statewide Discussion: A storm moving across Oklahoma Sunday evening continuing in Southeast Oklahoma this morning
provided an impressive dose of moisture for January tamping back the buildup of fuel dryness. Temperatures this afternoon will
range from the 30?'s in the northwest to near 70? southeast as drier air pushes up from the south. Dampened fuels will remain
well outside of concern today with low fire danger indices statewide.
Near-term: Precipitation chances develop again Tuesday and Tuesday evening across most of Oklahoma. The best opportunity
will occur Panhandle where some snow is likely. No significant fire danger is expected through the work week noting that a
warming trend is forecasted ahead of a warming trend and likelihood of strong and gusty winds Friday. At this time, fire danger
appears to be muted with recent precipitation and the lack of significant drying ahead of the system and precipitation chances
heading into Saturday. The system does merit monitoring and an update to the Oklahoma Wildfire Situation Report will be issued
later this week.
The Oklahoma Wildfire Outlook will be issued tomorrow.
Burn Bans: None
