MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... September 8, 2015 September 8, 2015 September 8, 2015 September 8, 2015 One burst of fall, coming up http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/chili.jpg I hate roast. As a member of a true nuclear family, one of my Thanksgiving dinners actually ended up being roast. Might as well have been May 8th. Why May 8th? Exactly. But roast is what we've had (or done, I guess) over the long holiday weekend, and it would appear we have one more day to go before we start to see temperatures actually drop BELOW normal for a spell. Yesterday was a scorcher (see heat index map) http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/yesterday-heat-index.png and most of Oklahoma is going to be hot again today. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/todays-highs.png But a cold front tonight should bring some rain and cooler weather for the rest of the week as we bask in lovely northwesterly flow. Saturday looks to be the coolest day of the week. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/nws-norman-7day.jpg Oh yes, rain! Glad I mentioned it. Some rain has already fallen in the NW, but expect more tonight into tomorrow, WITH a chance of some severe weather. Mostly wind and hail, probably. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/nws-tulsa-svr.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/todays-highs.png Rainfall amounts look to be highest in SE Oklahoma, but that's okay since that is the area being hit hardest by the flash drought situation that has popped up in the last 60 days. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150908/7day-rainfall-forecast.gif So neighbor, how long has it been since you had a big, thick, steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili? Oh, it was just a few weeks ago? August 19th? http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150820/yesterdays-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150820/todays-lows.png Well, never mind then. And yes, we do beans here. More fun for everybody.
