#Wildfire conditions in Oklahoma are looking especially dire tonight.

To read NOAA's forecast discussion open the map, click/tap inside any of the large red-outlined areas and then follow the link. The screenshot text is from the discussion for the area that includes Norman Oklahoma.

#RedFlagWarning - Red shading.
#HighWindWarning - Diagonals.

Various wildfires are burning in Texas and Oklahoma.
This area has both a #RedFlagWarning and #HighWindWarning.
Blowing dust is also an issue.
I-40 is reported to be closed east of Amarillo due to #Wildfire and accidents.

Dark symbols on the map are satellite heat detections within the prior 6 hours. This data is not real time and locations are only approximate. Typically there are 8 satellite passes per 24 hours. I think the next update will be this evening.

Some newer fires, like the one along I-40 in the Texas panhandle, have not yet been detected by the satellites.

Nope, not spring yet.

#WindChill in the upper midwest reminds me why I do not live there anymore. Snorkel parka anyone? See the screenshot for 'Extreme Cold Warning'.

And when was the last time you saw a #HighWindWarning for Washington #DC? If only it would blow hard enough to clean out #DictatorTrump and his goons.

The screenshot with graphs is for my neighborhood NE of Redmond WA.
