Thanksfreezing




I might be off for Thanksgiving week (yeah, and that TURKEY you cooked might be
a bit off, too...never thaw it out of the refrigerator!), but I just had to Tick
to Tock to you about the coming weather changes. First change...the rain will be
exiting the state later today.

As you probably now, heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud!



And it has been raining off and on since mid-week last week.



In some places, way too much!



And in some places, way too little.



It wasn't enough to end drought in a lot of those places, and in fact it barely
dented those deficits in parts of SW OK. But at least everybody got something.

We'll see temperatures moderate a bit through the week in time to give us a
fairly seasonable--if not chilly--Thanksgiving Day and into the weekend. But
sometime around November 30, in this year of our Lord 2025, the bottom is going
to finally drop out with a large Arctic air mass headed south on the Siberian
Express.





Still lots of uncertainty with timing and possible wintry weather, but as our
NWS friends from Norman and Amarillo tell us, best be on the lookout for
some freezing precip to be possible late this weekend into early next week.





Hey, if you hate winter, don't fret...spring is only 2-5 months away!
