MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 5, 2023 May 5, 2023 May 5, 2023 May 5, 2023 Glub Glub https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/rain-outlook.png Not a lot to Tock about today on what I'm hearing people call the "sink of mayo." I mean, gross, right? Now if it was a sink of mustard, then I'm with ya. But we had more than a sink full of rain yesterday in some parts...even saw a flash flood watch for central OK yesterday, and today the western half of the state is encased in a moisture-laden fog. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/rainrfc.48hr.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/latest.oklahoma.visibility.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/current-RH.png And as you can see above, our droughty-to-rainy pattern seems right on track as we head into mid-May. The rainy outlook extends all the way out through the end of next week, so hopefully we can continue to deal the drought a death by a thousand rains before summer moves in, which given that it's Oklahoma, that could happen any day now. Like today? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/todays-forecast-highs.png And if not today, tomorrow? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/tomorrow-forecast-highs.png Ya see, I know many of you root for those disgusting freezing temperatures, and I root for those triple-digit temperatures just as much. I'm thinking today might be the day we finally populate this map. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230505/tmax.ge100.png COME ON ALTUS! LET'S GO MANGUM! Think about this, though...a sink of Cherry Pop-Tarts. NOW we're talking.
