As our next storm system / cold front approaches from the northwest our temperatures warm up and the winds increase from the south Monday and Tuesday. This will once again ramp up the fire danger to extreme levels across Oklahoma. As you can see the fire danger is increasing again Monday into the critical to extreme levels this afternoon with gusty south winds near 40 mph and temps warming into the lower 80s. A cold front sweeps across Oklahoma Tuesday night into Wednesday with strong NW winds and colder weather. However, not much in the way of significant precipitation besides some light rain with the wrap around. So the fire threat continues very high even behind the front.
