MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... March 31, 2023 March 31, 2023 March 31, 2023 March 31, 2023 Only you... https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/latest.oklahoma.fire.png Ever have a bear put a shovel upside your head? Well, I have and it's not a good feeling. It was either that or eating Taco Bell after midnight. Whichever it was, let's just say I learned my lesson. Let's hope we don't learn any lessons today about how to stay safe during days with high wildfire danger. Here's a primer or https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/nws-ama-fire.safety.png Yeah, "Do NOT" indeed! And you might as well keep these tips in mind because the fire danger isn't going away anytime soon. It will wax and wane (and we all know how powerful that can be, although I prefer waning to waxing), but remain until otherwise indicated. *Maybe* later next week. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/nws-norman-fire.planner.png Today's fire danger is in the Extreme category, second only to "Historic." Again, no historical lessons today, please. Pretty standard early spring setup with a dryline and then a cold front passing through, bringing winds of 50-60+ mph, RH in the teens or single digits, and lots of dry fuels out there. Here are explanations of today's fire danger from our friends at our local NWS offices. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/nws-tulsa-fire.danger.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/nws-amarillo-fire.danger.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/nws-norman-fire.danger.png And here's the information from the folks that actually have to fight these fires, the Oklahoma Forestry Services division of the Oklahoma Dept. of Ag, Food and Forestry. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/Most-Recent-Fire-Situation-Report.pdf So get ready for lots of lip-crackin' dry air in your face today, and maybe a handful of grit and dirt as well. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/latest.oklahoma.winds.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230331/latest.oklahoma.visibility.gif So let's follow those wildfire safety rules...all part of living in Oklahoma.
