The most risky region extends from eastern Louisiana and Mississippi in the afternoon, then in Alabama and in the western parts of Georgia and Florida Panhandle in the evening, the center said.

Forest fires break out in dry and gust

In addition to Oklahoma, forest fires elsewhere in the southern plains threatened to spread quickly in the middle of hot and dry time and strong winds in Texas, Kansas, Missouri and New Mexico.

A fire in the county of Roberts, Texas, northeast of Amarillo, quickly exploded by less than a square mile (approximately 2 square kilometers) at around 32.8 square miles (85 square kilometers), said Texas A&M University Forest Service on X. Crews stopped by Friday evening.

About 60 miles (90 kilometers) in the south, another fire reached around 3.9 square miles (10 square kilometers) before its advance was interrupted in the afternoon.
