This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as

much of Eastern Oklahoma.



.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.



FIRE WEATHER DANGER.

	RISK...Limited.

	AREA...Mainly Eastern Oklahoma.

	ONSET...Ongoing.



DISCUSSION...

Near record to record high temperatures are forecast again this

afternoon across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. At the 

same time, afternoon humidity values of 15 to 30 percent will aid 

in limited fire weather danger over parts of eastern Oklahoma 

this afternoon. Generally light winds will limit the overall fire 

spread rates into this evening. South winds are forecast to begin

increasing overnight tonight into Sunday ahead of an approaching 

cold front. 



SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...

Spotter Activation Not Expected.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

SUNDAY...Very High Fire Weather Potential...High Wind Potential.

MONDAY...High Wind Potential.

TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY...No Hazards.

THURSDAY...Very High Fire Weather Potential...High Wind Potential.

FRIDAY...High Wind Potential.



EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

Fire weather conditions worsen Sunday with very dry fuels, low

humidity, and windy conditions across eastern Oklahoma and 

northwest Arkansas. South winds gusting up to 35 miles an hour  

are anticipated during the day Sunday ahead of the cold front 

moving into the region Sunday afternoon. Behind the frontal 

passage, a wind shift out of the north with gusts of 30 to locally

40 miles an hour into Sunday evening are forecast. These 

conditions combined with near record to record high temperatures 

will create near critical grassland fire spread rates. The area of

greatest concern remains across northeast Oklahoma, where locally

critical spread rates could develop. Limited fire weather danger 

and cooler conditions start the next work week, though a warming 

trend and an increase in fire weather concerns develops for the 

second half of next week.
