Central Oklahoma:
• Daily temperatures reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher through Friday
• Elevated evapotranspiration rates will increase fuel availability, leading to a modest uptick in initial attack activity.
Eastern Oklahoma:
• Temperatures in the upper 90s to 100 degree Fahrenheit through the workweek
• June/early July rainfall and live fuel moisture help limit fire behavior, though pine-dominated fuels retain moderate potential for spread.
Outlook
• Excessive Heat Dome: High temperatures will remain the primary headline until a potential summer cold front brings more normal temperatures over the weekend.
• Precipitation: Primarily dry conditions are expected across the state, with only low probabilities of rainfall in northern Oklahoma midweek.
• Wildfire Potential: Initial attack efforts are expected to remain successful locally, though large fires cannot be completely ruled out where terrain or dense vegetation limits engine access.
• 8-14 Day Outlooks point to persistence of above normal temperature and near normal precipitation chances
• Significant fire occurrence potential remains low
