A Severe Red Flag Warning is in effect for Oklahoma City until 9:00 PM local time tonight, cautioning against high wind speeds and very low humidity, which greatly increase the risk of rapidly spreading fires.

Today, the area experienced a high temperature of 75°F with maximum winds up to 23.1 mph. The lowest temperature recorded earlier today was 44.8°F. Thankfully, there was no precipitation, and the chance of precipitation throughout the day stood at a low 18%.

Residents are urged to comply with the Severe Red Flag Warning by avoiding any outdoor burning due to the heightened potential for wildfires.
