Ponca City will see a major warm-up this week, followed by increased fire danger:
• Wednesday–Thursday: Summer-like heat with highs near 90–95° (near record levels)
• Thursday–Friday: Strong winds (15–30 mph, higher gusts)
• Fire Risk: Elevated mid-week, becoming near-critical Thursday & Friday
• Friday: Cold front brings cooler temps but continued gusty winds
• No significant rainfall expected
This means dry conditions + heat + wind = high wildfire potential, especially late week.

• Avoid outdoor burning
• Secure trailer chains / prevent sparks
• Use caution with equipment and grills
• Stay aware of changing conditions Thursday–Friday
Stay weather aware this week, Ponca City.
