Good morning,

Red Flag Warning in place for most of Oklahoma as very dry air again surges across the state priming wildland fuels to support rapid rates if fire spread as above normal temperatures and windy conditions continue. An approaching cold front will challenge control lines on recent wildland fire activity and present potential for changes in spread direction this afternoon.

Avoid all activities that may spark a wildfire today! If you have had any outdoor burning, prescribed burning or controlled burns in recent days, please take the time to ensure that they are dead out and not the source of new wildfires today!
