MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 7, 2011 June 7, 2011 June 7, 2011 June 7, 2011 The Drums of Dol Oklahoma continues to flirt with record high temperatures, both the maximum and minimum categories.The historical record high temperature map for today and the actual highs today from the Mesonet show that much of western Oklahoma came close to their eclipsing those records. Also compare today's highs to the normal high temperature map and you can see those temperatures are running 10-15 degrees above normal. Now, 10-15 degrees above normal is great in January or February, but you don't want to see that anytime from about June- September. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110607/today.hitmax.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110607/today.TAIR.max.grad.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110607/today.normaltmax.png Cherokee at least busted out a record with a high of 104 degrees, topping the record of 103 degrees set way back in 2008. What goes up must come down, except my weight apparently, but the nighttime temperatures aren't playing nice. Once again, check out the historical records for highest minimum temperatures vs. the actual low temperatures from the Mesonet. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110607/today.hitmin.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110607/today.TAIR.min.grad.png Buffalo only dropped down to 79 degrees last night, besting their previous record high minimum temperature from 1939 by 4 degrees. Some of the best people come from Buffalo, by the way ... and so do I. Beaver also broke their record, but they're not as cool as Buffalo, so I won't mention them. I'll bet that win in football back in the day isn't looking so great now, is it Beaver! Summer's just getting started, folks. Just try and think cool.
