MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... February 14, 2019 February 14, 2019 February 14, 2019 February 14, 2019 We're gonna need a bigger rain http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/Thaws.png You can hear it, can't ya? As you bask on the beach in 70s and even a few 80s http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/todays-forecast-highs.png that ominous sound of a great white cold front stalking you. "duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn" Oh yeah, well YOU try and transcribe the theme from "Jaws" and see how you do! Anyway, after today's glorious warmth, the bottom will drop out once again, a familiar seesaw that we've been experiencing all winter (and every winter, for that matter). There will be a chance of some inclement weather tonight and into early tomorrow in the form of light freezing rain and freezing drizzle...to me the worst of what winter has to offer. Just a smidge will send you into the ditch. Tomorrow's highs will reflect that cold air mass as it eases down into the Southern Plains, in a battle with the southerly winds ahead of a large upper-level trough to our west. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/friday-forecast-highs.png By early next week, after a shot of reinforcing cold air, it'll just be frigid for everybody. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/mondays-forecast-highs.png It's February...no biggie. Maybe a bit of wintry precip Monday and Tuesday, or maybe a lot. We'll know more as we get closer. Whatever may come, we need the moisture out west. We now see more Abnormally Dry (D0) conditions spreading from the Texas Panhandle into far western Oklahoma, painting the border counties with yeller. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/20190212_OK_trd.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/20190212_South_trd.png This is not shocking, considering the length of time they've gone without significant moisture in that area. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/mesonet.rainfall.tenthinch.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/mesonet.rainfall.quarterinch.png And while it's normally (HA!) dry this time of year out that way, in a tired old refrain we're getting used to around here, this year it's unusually dry. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/30day-totals.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/30days.norm_dep.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/30days.norm_pct.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/last30days-stats.png There's a bit of hope? For part of the area? I'm scared to put a period on either of those sentences. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190214/7day-rain-totals.gif Not looking good right now though, at least for the western portions of the main body of the state. This always ends, doesn't it? Only question is will it end next week, the week after that, or June.
