MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 14, 2021 October 14, 2021 October 14, 2021 October 14, 2021 Winter preview https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/saturday-morning-lows.png The Ticker is actually off today, but then again, aren't we a *little* off everyday? That's okay, we have time for a quick Tock about everybody's favorite subject...spaghetti sauce: with or without sugar? Let's not go there, let's go SOUTH! I was all prepared to tell you about Oklahoma's first freeze being forecast for Saturday morning when darned if we didn't look up and see the Mesonet site at Eva done beat us to the punch this morning. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/todays-lows.png I think I told ya Tuesday that it wouldn't shock me to see a freeze before this weekend somewhere in the Panhandle, just like I said last week don't be shocked if we see a hunnert or two (again, two 100s, not 200) last weekend. I was shockingly correct on both. That 32 at Eva is the first freezing weather we've seen in the state since way back on April 24 in, you guessed it, Eva. For the record, that's 1 freezing reading in October vs. 6 triple-digit readings. Freedom hit 102 degrees five days ago for our probable (but not definite!) last 100 of 2021. Now we're off and running with the freezes, starting in earnest this weekend out in the Panhandle. Again, don't be shocked if somebody else drops to 32 for a bit either. Lots of tornadoes the last 5 days, and we're gonna approach 1998's record total of 27 for the month, probably, so let's go on to more pleasant things. Rain. Everybody got a dose during the last 2 events, so that's a good start to wiping a bit of drought off the map. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/5day-rainfall.png Today's Drought Monitor map had Sunday's rain included, but missed out on Tuesday and Wednesday's rain because of the 7am cutoff to be considered by the Drought Monitor author. So some decent changes this week, but expect more next week. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/DM-1week-change.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/20211012_ok_trd.png AND, more storm chances today and early tomorrow, so maybe we can add some more relief to the maps. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/5day-rain-forecast.gif Once we get by that, we go back to crystal blue skies, and a temperature regime that's down in fall territory much more so than the half-summer/half-fall pattern that we've been stuck in. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20211014/nws-norman-7day-temps.png It's all downhill from here, folks.
