Hazardous Weather Outlook For CHEROKEE County,

509 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024

 DAY ONE  Today and Tonight.

SIGNIFICANT WINDS.
RISK  Limited.
AREA  Portions of northeast OK.
ONSET  Ongoing.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
RISK  Limited.
AREA  Areawide.
ONSET  Ongoing.

DISCUSSION  
Breezy conditions, especially across northeast Oklahoma, will
continue through this evening. Wind gusts will strengthen further
after midnight, upwards of 30 mph for portions of northeast OK and
15-25 mph elsewhere. These breezy conditions will contribute to a
limited fire weather potential. Skies will be mostly clear 
outside of some areas of smoke. 

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT  
Spotter Activation Not Expected.

 DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN  Friday through Wednesday.

FRIDAY  High Wind Potential.
SATURDAY  High Wind Potential.
SUNDAY  Thunderstorm Potential  High Wind Potential.
MONDAY  Thunderstorm Potential  High Wind Potential.
TUESDAY  High Wind Potential.
WEDNESDAY  No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION  
Fire weather concerns will increase significantly Friday,
especially across northeast Oklahoma, with gusty south winds, 
warm temperatures, and low humidity values. Increasing high level
cloud cover may somewhat offset these otherwise favorable
conditions. Moisture will increase over the weekend, and winds 
will not be quite as strong, which will temper fire weather 
concerns to some degree. 

Thunderstorm chances return late Sunday night and Monday, with an
increasing potential for severe storms Monday afternoon and 
evening as a cold front moves into the area from the northwest. 
All severe weather hazards will be possible at this time.
