Extreme Fire Threat As High Temps, Strong Winds Move Through OKC Metro

A strong storm system will move overhead Friday and kick up its heels with strong winds and warm temperatures.

Some rain is also possible, but it will exit the state to the east Friday morning. Afternoon conditions will become ripe with fire danger.

Strong winds, warm temperatures and low humidity combined with dormant vegetation will make the danger extreme over most of the state.
