MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... November 21, 2022 November 21, 2022 November 21, 2022 November 21, 2022 Frozen giblets https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/nov26-30-temp-outlook.png The Ticker is officially off for the rest of the week. Wait for it... YEAH, THE TICKER IS OFFICIALLY "OFF" ALL THE TIME! You can't hurt me if I tell the joke first. But hey, there's nothing wrong with being a little off...some of the world's smartest people are a little off...then there's me. Wanted to drop a Tick to Tock about the end of our winter blast we started with 11 days ago. Yeah, November 10...I wuz there! You can see from our graph of statewide avg highs (red) vs. the long-term smoothed average (black) that this is the most serious below-normal period we've seen in the state since...well, we haven't seen anything like this in the state since probably Feb. 2021 (green)! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/2021-22-statewide-avg-temps.png Sure, we've had periods that were colder, but for the extent and magnitude, it's been almost 2 years. Warmer than normal? That's easy...our entire summer was well above normal, and it stretched back into May and into October. However, it does appear we'll have a near-to-above-normal stretch of weather to complete Thanksgiving week, as well as to end the month. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/nws-norman-7day-temps.png Thanksgiving itself? Near-normal with a chance of some light rain across eastern Oklahoma. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/thur-rain-forecast.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/thanksgiving-lows.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221121/thanksgiving-highs.png The forecast models are acting the fool with this storm system for later this week, so be sure to keep turkey-abreast (see what I did there?) for any possible travel impacts. All in all, though, the weather looks fairly boring to the extent of accurate forecasts, and even beyond (inaccurately). Boring can be good if you're traveling, but not so great if you're in drought. Or doubt. Have a happy AND SAFE Thanksgiving! Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey gmcmanus@mesonet.org
