MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... August 8, 2023 August 8, 2023 August 8, 2023 August 8, 2023 Miracle https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/OK_swody1.png Hey, it was a marginal risk LAST night and here we are this morning with flash flooding, over 10,000 electric customers without power, and stuff ("stuff," the great non-wordsmith equalizer for when you run out of stuff [see!!] to say). So again tonight expect another possible round of storms late tonight into the overnight hours. Rains were heavy at points to say the least, and if anybody should ever say the least it's the Ticker. Sorry, radar overlays still not working...problem isn't on our end (and if it was, we all know just how painful that can be). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/today.rainrfc.png Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/current-radar.png We didn't see widespread severe winds on the Mesonet map, but there were still some pretty hefty gusts. And lightning strikes probably helped up the power outages. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/today.gust.gif As for temperatures, it was glorious for all but far southern OK, who had to go spoil out attempts to go without a triple-digit temp on the Mesonet for the first time in over 2 weeks! Activate Mesonet perturbed glare. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/tmax.ge100_streak.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/yesterdays-highs.png We'll have to see about today's forecast highs and just how much those storms and the rain impact today's temperatures. But here is the official forecast. No question for the far southern sections...it'll be hotter'n heck again today. To the north of there...you have some hope. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230808/todays-forecast-highs.png Hope in August can fizzle pretty quickly, so enjoy it whilst you can!
