Fire Danger Expected to Increase This Week with Burn Bans in Cimarron & Texas Counties
A cold front is expected to move into the Oklahoma Panhandle and western Oklahoma early Wednesday and then move across the state throughout the rest of the day. This front will be primarily dry reserving some chance of rainfall in southeast Oklahoma later Wednesday although elevated fire danger will persist in western and portions of northern/central Oklahoma with continued dry condition and stout winds. Conditions moderate Thursday, with much lighter winds overall and a return to seasonal temperatures although another uptick in fire danger is likely on Friday in advance of another frontal passage.

For Wednesday, moderate overnight moisture recovery, dry frontal passage and gusty north winds will support enhanced fire danger generally north and west of I-44. Continued dry conditions and stout northerly winds will present a fire environment capable of supporting moderate to rapid rates of fire spread on established fires. Initial attack activity is expected to be successful. Rangeland fuels will exhibit head fire rates of spread 144-234 ft./min. with head fire flame lengths around 11-12 ft.

Fire danger is expected to moderate on Thursday, although increase again on Friday in advance of another cold front. Again, the focal area will be the Panhandle and western counties.

Rural Oklahoma is full of some of the greatest success stories throughout the entire state and is the main reason Oklahoma is on track to become a top 10 state. 

The Road to Rural Prosperity will dive into these stories each week, bringing you insight into the great things happening in and to rural Oklahoma. We will bring you stories covering rural life, agriculture, energy, healthcare, tourism, and politics affecting rural America. 

The Road to Rural Prosperity is here to tell stories about rural America, for rural America.

KC Sheperd talks with Jed Green, the founder of the group ORCA- Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action. They discuss the problems that have developed in rural Oklahoma because of the explosive growth of medical marijuana production in the state- and of the need for better regulation of the industry- as well as recognition of the economic benefits Green believes are a part of the arrival of this industry- especially in areas where legal operations are being established.
