Gusty southerly winds of 20 to 30 mph, unseasonably warm temperatures, and relative humidity values from 30 to 40 percent Tuesday afternoon will increase fire weather concerns across eastern Oklahoma and northwestern Arkansas. However, the worst combination of these fire weather conditions is expected to occur in areas where fuels are currently less receptive to fire (northeastern Oklahoma). As such, there is a limited concern over southeastern Oklahoma where fuels are more receptive to fire, and weather conditions are expected to result in enhanced spread conditions.
Temperatures are expected to stay mild into this weekend with mostly dry conditions through that period. Another cool down is expected for the latter half of the weekend into next week.
October 2025 was definitely a very warm month for Tulsa, Fort Smith and Fayetteville, with average temperatures at all 3 locations finishing several degrees above normal. On the rainfall front, Tulsa and Fort Smith enjoyed above normal rain, but Fayetteville largely missed out on that this time.
