Strong northerly winds behind a cold front, along with low relative humidity, will lead to elevated fire weather danger across much of the area on Wednesday.

Elevated fire weather is expected during the afternoon for several days this week. Near critical fire weather conditions are possible on Friday.

Fire weather conditions are expected most afternoons this week into the weekend. Caution should be exercised as all it takes is one spark to start a fire. Here's some tips for wildfire prevention that are important to keep in mind with our ongoing drought conditions.

Temperatures will return to near-average beginning on Wednesday. Multiple cold fronts are expected with windy conditions and potential for fire danger.

Local Weather History For January 14th...

On this date in 1960, it seemed more like April than January, when an
intense line of thunderstorms raced through the region. Winds up to
75 mph brought widespread damage to roofs and utilities. A funnel
cloud was followed for 3.5 miles over the western edge of Oklahoma
City, while a tornado damaged three farmsteads southeast of Fitzhugh,
in Pontotoc County. The winds were not finished however, as an
intense low pressure system roared through later in the day. Again,
winds of 75 mph blew out plate glass windows in Lawton, Purcell,
Yukon, and Oklahoma City.
