MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 30, 2024 October 30, 2024 October 30, 2024 October 30, 2024 WildTorFireNado https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody1_TORN.png Tornadoes? Wildfires? Large hail? Severe winds of 75 mph? That's nothing! The air conditioner in my car only blows out the floor vents now. Do you like driving around with cold feet? I thought so. All kidding aside (kidding is now on THAT side...over there...no, the other side), we have some serious weather today, and a look outside tells me it's one of THOSE days in Oklahoma...one of those days where you get up in the morning and see the low stratus streaming northward and you go and throw your calendar in the trash (don't throw you colander in the trash...how will you drain that spaghetti??). The setup: we'll have a storm system moving through the Southern Plains with a surface low just to our north dragging a dryline and cold front through the state. Behind that dryline, bigtime wildfire concerns. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/latest.oklahoma.fire.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/nws-amarillo-fire.danger.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/nws-norman-fire.danger.png And in front of that dryline we should see storm initiation later this afternoon with the possibility of the aforementioned hazards, including the risk of strong tornadoes in the yellow hatched area. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody1.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody1_WIND.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody1_HAIL.png Timing is late afternoon through the overnight hours, west to east. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/nws-tulsa-svr-timing.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/nws-norman-svr-timing.png The rain will be welcomed, of course. It often comes with bad things in Oklahoma, unfortunately. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/24hour-rain-totals.png Temps will drop below freezing up in far NW OK behind that COLD front. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/latest.oklahoma.frostfreeze.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/thursday-lows.png So an eventful 24 hours coming up! And that's AFTER record-setting high minimum temps this morning, although I guess those could be wiped out when the cold front moves through (i.e., our low temps could come right before midnight in some parts of Oklahoma). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/todays-lows.thus.far.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/oct30-record-hi.tmins.png A nice seasonable Halloween followed by MORE rain and MORE severe weather. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody4_PROB.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/OK_swody5_PROB.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20241030/7day-rain-forecast.png Sunday's threat looks like a hail/wind deal, not so tornadoey. Now back to my cold feet...hey, maybe Mother Nature will get cold feet on the severe weather? Just in case, start tuning in to your favorite media weather source and local NWS Office. Time to get weather aware...you know the drill! Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climate Survey gmcmanus@ou.edu
