High Fire Threat Sunday Is Just One Of Several Weather Events This Week

The first official day of Spring is upon us, but there’s a catch in Sunday’s forecast.

According to News On 6 Meteorologist Stephen Nehrenz, the fire danger in Green Country is very high. Strong winds, which could gust between 20 and 30 miles per hour Sunday, could get a fire out of control very quickly.

Sunday’s highs in cities like Tulsa, Okmulgee, Muskogee and Bartlesville will hover in the upper 70s.

Gusty winds will continue into Monday morning when showers move through our area in the mid-to-late morning. The storms will be widespread by early Monday afternoon.

Some areas will be in the mid-50s when the rain comes through. Others east of Tulsa may see temperatures in the 60s.
