MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... February 6, 2019 February 6, 2019 February 6, 2019 February 6, 2019 Freezing Drizzle Ice Fog Fire Tornado http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/Potpourri.png Take moisture http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/Oklahoma.MosaicBREF.png add cold AND warm air separated by some sort of quasi-cold/warm/stationary front http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/current.TAIR.grad.png and throw in a storm system, and you have our current chaotic mess. Big storms possible later today SE of the I-44 corridor, freezing rain/drizzle/fog to the NW of I-44 (oddly enough, along I-44 a few feet to either side, sunny and 80 degrees! Crazy, right?? Well, no, just wishful thinking.), and big fire danger in the western Panhandle. What can you expect? Pain. No, that was Clubber Lang's promise in "Rocky III." What can you expect? Depends on where you are on the map. If'n you're in the southeast, prepare for storms. NW, stay home if you can and stay off the roads. Panhandle, keep your lit butts in your car (and we all know just how painful that can be). For the rest of us, not Festivus but a mixed bag of impacts. Central Oklahoma will see just about everything but fire danger, possibly. Once the storm system moves through, just plain cold for everybody with a lingering chance of freezing drizzle overnight into tomorrow morning. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/Thursday-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/Friday-morning-lows.png As for those storms in the southeast, as noted in the top graphic on the Ticker, the tornado threat is low, but not zero. But the other hazards associated with severe storms are also a threat. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/day1otlk_1300.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/day1probotlk_1300_wind.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190206/day1probotlk_1300_hail.gif So if you want to see storms, drive to the southeast (unless you're in the northwest, then stay off the roads). If you want to see ice, drive to the northwest (no, stay off the roads). If you want to see fire, drive to the far western Panhandle (no, there's ice along the way, stay off the roads). Okay, new plan. Stay where you're at and stay weather aware.
