MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... August 19, 2019 August 19, 2019 August 19, 2019 August 19, 2019 Vote for Summer! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/summer-continues.png Kip may have slayed Debbie with that little quip, but the laughter is starting to fade around these parts. The forecast above shows little mercy for Oklahomans impacted by heat, including the strengthening flash drought across western Oklahoma; soon to be coming to southeastern Oklahoma if significant rains don't arrive. So watch for more triple-digit temps across western Oklahoma, and triple-digit heat indices across much of the rest of the state. Our customary heat advisories are out again today for values from 105-115, much like we saw yesterday. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/yesterday-heat-index.png The fun doesn't end there, of course. We DID get some relieving rains Saturday night into Sunday, and again last night. Unfortunately, it's Oklahoma, so when you get rain, you will often get the nasty stuff to go along with it. So these amounts are good in some cases, and better than nothing in others. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/rainrfc.48hr.png Look at Altus with 2.12 inches! Too bad it wasn't more widespread. But even more bad...the 92 mph winds that went along with it Saturday night. And more severe winds as the storms marched east into Sunday morning. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/saturday-maximum-gusts.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/sunday-maximum-gusts.gif More rain is on the way, at least. The bad stuff with it? Well, again, it's Oklahoma. But we'll take the rain nonetheless, mainly Tuesday night through Thursday, but a bit of a chance through Saturday. It's not much across the southwest, but better'n nothing! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/7day-rainfall-forecast.gif AND a nice cooldown. Probably won't last long, but as with the rainfall, we'll take it. Check out Thursday's highs. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/Thursday-forecast-highs.png After such a slow start, we now have a full-fledged Oklahoma style summer in progress. Remember, most of this started in July! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190819/tmax.ge100.png Okay, new tactic. Vote for Autumn.
