Central Oklahoma:
• Rain in northern counties aids conditions; highest fire danger remains in south-central counties.
Eastern Oklahoma:
• Challenging initial attacks in the southeast due to terrain. Timber and pine plantations carry the highest risk for large fire occurrences.
Outlook
NE Area – 2 Fires Burned 173.3 Acres (Cause: 2-Incendiary) EC Area – 1 Fire Burned 3.5 Acres (Cause: 1-Incendiary) SE Area – 9 Fires Burned 347.9 Acres (Cause: 1-Escaped Debris, 8-Incendiary)
• Rain chances drop significantly after Monday, though a weak cold front mid-week brings low rain chances to northern counties. Hot, dry conditions and persistent drought will drive elevated initial attack activity, though the overall probability of significant fire occurrence remains low.
