Advance forecasting




Stop me if you've heard this one before...well okay then. Ticker over. But before
I go, just a quick word about our rainfall prospects this week. So we see that
there is a blob of moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm
Vance currently churning down in the Pacific that is expected to move up our
way as we get close to the weekend and MAYBE getting your ghosts and goblins
wet (and we all know just how painful THAT can be) for trick-or-treating. Still
a long ways off, forecastively (It's my Ticker and I can make up any words I
see fit!) speaking, so expect some changes and refinements in that forecast.

Before then, however, there will be a chance of rain today into tomorrow as well,
mostly for the Panhandle and far western Oklahoma.



How far it advances to the east is still up for grabs, so pick your spot soon
before somebody else gets it. Otherwise, we'll remain in the 70s and 80s for
most of the week, still well above normal, which is our "normal" weather pattern
for the last 16 months or so.





There's a promise of better rain next week. The only problem is, nobody is
willing to actually promise it. We'll see. It can always be worse. Remember
six years ago today?
