MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... August 12, 2022 August 12, 2022 August 12, 2022 August 12, 2022 Blankety-blank https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220812/7day-rain-forecast.png I'm pretty sure I said that watch out for the forecasts of lots of rain and cooler weather, because that's not really how droughts and heat waves work...persistence is often the key until you get widespread and emphatic pattern changes? Well, if I didn't I'm saying it now. I really expected a bit more from next week's becoming-more-muted pattern change. It does look like we will get a cool down for several days, although the 70s--and even 80s for some areas--look farther and farther away. Thursday looks to be the coolest day, so hopefully these 80s hold. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220812/thursday-forecast-highs.png But here's where the hope lies ("lies" is not prophetic, we hope!)...this glorious rainfall outlook is for the period directly after that 7-day forecast, so it's moisture is not including in that dismal picture with Clint grumbling for Mother Nature to get off his lawn. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220812/aug19-25-precip-outlook.png We're definitely way out there in fantasy-cast land when we go out that far, but we'll see what happens. Speaking of heat waves, 86 years ago was our last-hottest day when Altus his 120 degrees on Aug. 12, 1936. We haven't hit that mark since, and we're not going to get close this year, but just a reminder that it can still get hotter than Hades this time of year. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220812/aug12-record-highs.png We don't need no 120s...100s are enough. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220812/monday-forecast-highs.png It's okay to get angry. So go pull your pants up past your belly button, cinch your belt to it's last notch, and go out and scowl at the clear sky!
