Officials with the National Weather Service in Tulsa have upgraded Friday's fire weather watch to a red flag warning across all of northeast Oklahoma.
 
A high wind warning has also been issued for Friday.
 
The warning and watch are in effect for Friday mid-morning through evening as strong winds with gusts up to 60 mph possible, causing extreme conditions for wind damage and fire spread rates.
 
News On 6 Meteorologist Stephen Nehrenz says the risk factors for Friday are high.
 
Strong winds could damage some trees and power lines on Friday and some property could be damaged. Travel will also be difficult, especially for high-profile vehicles. Any fires that develop will spread dangerously fast. Outdoor burning should be avoided on Friday.
