657 FNUS64 KTSA 180501 RFDTSA OKZ054>062-064>067-190000- Fire Danger Statement National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1101 PM CST Wed Dec 17 2025 ...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA... Grassland fire spread rates will be enhanced to near critical Thursday afternoon across much of northeast Oklahoma, especially west of Highway 75 and north of Interstate 44. Northwesterly winds from 15 to 20 mph with gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range are expected Thursday afternoon behind a cold front moving through Thursday morning. Afternoon relative humidity values will fall into the 15 to 25 percent range as temperatures warm into the upper 50s to around 60 degrees. These conditions will combine with dry wildland fuels that are three weeks removed from significant rainfall to present an elevated fire danger to briefly near Red Flag conditions. Avoid outdoor activities that could inadvertently start a fire, including disposing of cigarettes properly. Report any wildfires to local officials. $$
