MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 16, 2024 October 16, 2024 October 16, 2024 October 16, 2024 Frozed https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/cumulative.freeze.48hr.gif The Ticker is off the rest of the week (and really, the rest of our life...we've sought help but there is none), but we really had to Tock about those temperatures this morning. As you can see, we've had our first freeze of the season and in true Oklahoma fashion, the fun is in overdoing it, no? Seiling wins the prize for lowest low at 24 degrees, the coldest reading on the Mesonet since March 28. Buffalo and Jay win the duration below freezing at 6 hours apiece, but Buffalo is STILL below freezing, so it'll add to that number. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/todays-lows.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/current-temps.png The hard freeze folks--and I'm calling 28 degrees the hard freeze mark...some sez 26, I sez 28--were confined to far northern Oklahoma, but close enough to give us the heebiliy-jeebilies! Throw in the El Reno Mesonet site with its weird geographic micro-climate effects for fun. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/hours-below-28.png This freeze is pretty early, in line with the earliest first fall freeze based on the 1991-2020 normals, and a couple of weeks early from our average first fall freeze. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/earliest_firstfreeze.1991-2020.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/avg_firstfreeze.1991-2020.png We'll now start on another warming trend after a bit of a cool day today, eventually getting back above normal in a few days. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/todays-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/nws-norman-7day-temps.png Other than that, we await the possibility of rain across western OK and the Panhandle. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241016/5day-rain-forecast.png See it.
