MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 16, 2022 May 16, 2022 May 16, 2022 May 16, 2022 For reals! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/may21-25-temp-outlook.png Yeah, last night's cold front dropped us back down to just barely above normal, instead of the 15-25 degrees above normal we were all trying to get used to (and failing horribly, mostly, due to the humidity). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/24hour-temp-change.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/24hour-dewpoint-change.png No, I'm not going to show you what the actual temperature and dewpoint values are. That's EXACTLY what you'd expect me to do. Nice try. What I can tell you is that today's return to near-spring is temporary, so enjoy it whilst you can. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/todays-forecast-highs.png Because tomorrow it's right back to the salt mines. Wait, are salt mines really hot and humid? Okay, back to the (mine where it is someplace hot...hope you picked a clever one because I couldn't think of one). And it's gonna stay that way until Friday when we get a really nice cold front that might actually drop us down BELOW normal just a tad. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/tuesday-forecast-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/nws-norman-7day-temps.png Now the difference between today's and Friday's is 5 days, but that's not important right now. The REAL difference is that today's lasts a day...Friday's front should last for several days with highs in the 70s and 80s and lows in 40s and 50s. I think we might even eke out a freeze in the far western Panhandle. Eva, we're looking at you. We will also see an enhanced chance for rain with that front, although we've been seeing some rain (AND LOTS OF BIG HAIL!) over the last few days. In the last week, we've seen real relief across some of the areas hardest hit by drought. Not everywhere, though. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/7day-rain-totals.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/del30day_rain.current.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/pct30day_rain.current.png There are also rain chances out west for the next few days, with more chances of severe weather, too. This isn't high-end May severe weather Oklahoma is used to, but bad enough at times to be significant. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/day1otlk_1300.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/day2otlk_0600.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/day3otlk_0730.gif This will be a good chance for the Panhandle to get a bit more moisture. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220516/7day-rain-forecast.gif After that, it does look like it could get hot, and I mean REALLY hot, later next week, but that's nightmare-cast territory. So 3-4 days of second spring will soon be sprung. Be ready! Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey gmcmanus@mesonet.org
