Fire Danger Statement
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
259 AM CDT Tue Oct 29 2024

...ELEVATED TO NEAR-CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS 
AFTERNOON FOR NORTHEAST EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST 
ARKANSAS...

Grassland fire spread potential will increase this afternoon as 
southerly winds increase and gust from 35 to 45 mph across
northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Additionally, minimum
relative humidity values are expected to fall as low as 40%. The 
worst conditions are expected along and north of Interstate 44 in
northeast Oklahoma where winds will be the strongest. 

Fine fuels and brush are drought-stressed and increasingly 
receptive to ignition. 

Avoid outdoor activities that could inadvertently start a fire, 
including disposing of cigarettes properly. Report any wildfires 
to local officials.
 
Additionally, burn bans are in effect for many counties across 
eastern Oklahoma, along with all of western Arkansas. Remember to
check with local authorities regarding burn bans for your 
specific location.
