AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS.
ONSET...ONGOING.


DISCUSSION...
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH IN COMBINATION WITH TEMPERATURES
WELL INTO THE 70S THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AN ELEVATED FIRE

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
FIRE CONCERNS WILL INCREASE TUESDAY AS SOUTH WINDS REACH 20 MILES AN HOUR
WITH GUSTS TO 30 MILES AN HOUR WHILE TEMPERATURES REACH THE MID 70S TO
LOWER 80S.  A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT
RESULTING IN A SMALL CHANCE FOR EVENING THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHEAST

BRISK NORTH WINDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY WILL CONTINUE FIRE
CONCERNS... HOWEVER LOWER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SUGGEST A LESSER FIRE THREAT.
