THE WEST OF A VINITA TO HUGO LINE.

CONDITIONS WILL NOT IMPROVE MUCH SATURDAY NIGHT AS WINDS REMAIN
FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND TEMPERATURES ONLY FALL INTO THE UPPER 40S

FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE IN THE DAY SUNDAY AND SHIFT WINDS TO
THE NORTHWEST AND BRING COOLER AIR INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. HOWEVER
TEMPERATURES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL...ESPECIALLY
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE TIMING
OF THE COLD FRONT AND IF IT SHOULD SLOW DOWN...TEMPERATURES IN
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL BE WARMER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.

THE PURPOSE OF FIRE WEATHER WATCHES AND RED FLAG WARNINGS ARE TO
ALERT LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCIES OF DEVELOPING WEATHER CONDITIONS
THAT...WHEN COMBINED WITH CRITICALLY DRY WILDLAND FUELS...COULD
LEAD TO DANGEROUS WILDFIRES. TIMELY AND ACCURATE WATCHES AND
