Fire weather danger continues today across Oklahoma and north Texas with the worst conditions late morning into the afternoon. A cold front will gradually shift the winds from the west to the northwest and to the north this afternoon and evening as it moves south.

My family in Woodward is good, they were evacuating the other day.
Unfortunately the winds aren’t dying down soon.

I can't believe you all missed the rain we got here in northwest Arkansas about 5 days ago
almost always, your weather travels straight to us

The "8-Ball Fire" sounds like a hoot.

Funny you mention that, I’m in Tulsa and during tornado season once the storm passes us it either goes towards Siloam Springs or Joplin. Like a game of hot potato.

What causes this? Some fricking idiot throwing out his cigarette or someone doing a burn pile in the backyard? Sure it’s dry… but someone has to start the fire? Crazy
