MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... April 22, 2024 April 22, 2024 April 22, 2024 April 22, 2024 Wascally Wabbits https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/severe-season.png For those duck season fans (rabbit season fans, please pick up the white courtesy line), we could still see that...as in "DUCK! There's a baseball size hailstone coming at ya!" or "DUCK! There's a 2X4 coming through the wall!" Oh, probably not that bad, but we will see some typical late-April severe weather chances crop up this week with a classical springtime storm setup later this week. We could actually see some storms starting tomorrow, but the dryline with upper- level support should arrive across the west on Thrusday (what some people call "Thursday," but I'm too lazy to hit the backspace key, so I type all of this out instead...NEVER GO BACK!), farther east on Friday, then the main storm system arrives on Saturday. Apparently, Saturday is the day we could see the most severe weather, but you know the drill. It's a tool used to make holes in things, but that's not important right now. The point is there is still lots of time between now and the storm system's arrival, so things will shuffle and shift a bit between now and then, or change completely. It does look like we'll see some much needed rain, however, with the same caveats applied. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/7day-rain-forecast.gif Now this is full-on spring after our 3-day weekend of late winter-ish feeling weather. Expect highs in the 70s and 80s (maybe a few 90s) Friday or Satruday (see: Thrusday). We will see a bit of a cooldown on Wednesday, but temps will rebound quickly on strong southerly winds Thursday. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/todays-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/tuesday-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/wed-highs.png With a dryline in the area, and lots of heat and wind, you can bet the wildfire danger will kick up close to the extreme category, especially in those flash drought-plagued areas to the west. As with the severe weather, Saturday appears to be the worst day for wildfires danger. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/saturday-fire.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240422/nws-norman-wildfire.png I'ma be gone (Okie to English translation: I'm going to be gone) for the next few days, so Ticker information will be scarce. Most would agree that's the way it usually is anyway. Somebody hold down the fort whilst I'm gone.
