MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 21, 2019 June 21, 2019 June 21, 2019 June 21, 2019 Spring's last gasp! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/spc-outlook-saturday.png Welcome to Oklahoma where winter runs March 1-3, spring severe weather season starts January 1 and ends December 31, and summer shows up whenever it darned well feels like it. We've covered the heat now. Been there, done that. How about our first 100s of the year, and a max heat index of 113 on the map? http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/yesterday-high-temps.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/yesterday-max-heat-index.png And more of the same today. Be ready, Mother Nature certainly is. I think these values are an underestimate, but I hope I'm wrong. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/nws-norman-heat.index.today.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/nws-tulsa-heat.index.today.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/nws-amarillo-heat-today.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif A bit of a cool down this weekend, but that's because of a trough of low pressure, which will drag a cool front and a dryline into Oklahoma. And that, of course, means storms and severe weather! Doesn't matter what the calendar says. So here we go again. Watch out for the weather Saturday afternoon and evening, and again overnight into Sunday AND then Sunday afternoon once again. Looks like giant hail and widescale severe wind threat will be the most likely, uhhhhh, threats (I hate when I do that), but tornadoes can't be ruled out either. As we saw earlier this week, though, doesn't take a tornado to ruin somebody's day. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/spc-sat-outlook.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190621/spc-sun-outlook.gif And while our not-so-clever meme indicated this will be the end of our spring severe weather season, will it REALLY be the end? Is Rocky celebrating to early? He did lose that fight, ya know. Mother Nature didn't hear no bell.
