MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... August 7, 2018 August 7, 2018 August 7, 2018 August 7, 2018 Love -- August Style http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/August-rains.png All is going according to plan. Undermine Oklahoma City as the capital of Oklahoma, get Buffalo installed as the new capital. Then, make cowchips the new currency for... WHOOPS, wrong forum. Ahem. Forgot all that (my delete key has been deleted). All is going according to plan, AND IT HAS STARTED RAINING. And some really nice totals thus far across the NW and Panhandle. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/12hour-rain-totals.png Noice! And the forecast rains are still on track to be somewhat significant along and south of I-40. But, there will be a statewide rain chance over the next 3 days. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/5day-rain-forecast.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/nws-norman-flood-potential.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/nws-tulsa-rain.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/nws-amarillo-rain-chances.png Mostly everybody in the state needs a good rain (or two, or three) given the deficts...both long- and short-term. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/30days-pct-normal.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/year-to-date-pct-normal.png We all know that August can jump up and bite you with some heat and drought pretty quickly, so whatever we can get this week will do wonders for the rest of the month. It sure doesn't look to dangerous as we head further into August. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/aug14-20-temp-outlook.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180807/aug14-20-precip-outlook.gif Could we be headed for another repeat of last year's August, which ended as the 9th coolest and 2nd wettest on record? I wouldn't say we're going to hit those extremes just yet. BUT, another wet, cool August? LOVE!
