SUMMARY: The 4Warn Storm Team is monitoring extreme wildfire risks in Oklahoma due to expected high winds, with gusts reaching nearly hurricane force. Conditions are extremely dry across the state, prompting a red flag warning for 76 of 77 counties from 7 AM to 10 PM tomorrow. While current temperatures are in the 60s and 70s, a system approaching from the southwest could bring severe thunderstorms, potentially causing power outages and minor damage. The team emphasizes the urgency of this severe fire danger, especially in western Oklahoma, as humidity levels drop dramatically.

The 4Warn Storm Team is keeping an eye on strong winds and potential wildfire risk for Friday.
