National Weather Service Tulsa OK
119 AM CST Sat Jan 17 2026

...ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY...

Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions will
exist today across eastern Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas.

Northwesterly winds from 15 to 25 mph, gusting 30 to 40 mph, will
develop by late morning and continue through the afternoon across much
of the region. Fuels remain very dry from the ongoing drought conditions
and relative humidities will fall into the 15 to 25 percent range this
afternoon. The result will be elevated to near critical grassland fire
spread rates across much of eastern Oklahoma and west-central Arkansas.

Avoid outdoor activities that could inadvertently start a fire,
including disposing of cigarettes properly. Report any wildfires
to local officials.
