MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... March 9, 2015 March 9, 2015 March 9, 2015 March 9, 2015 Hey, it's wet ain't it! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/fools.jpg Yeah yeah, it's not as exciting to some of you as the snow last week, but it is indeed raining as I type this. At least I didn't sit in line for over an hour getting my car washed this weekend! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BWAHAHA! HAHAHAH! HAHA! haha ha Oh, wait, I did. Now all that sand and dirt spread on the roads will make for a lovely soup to go BACK on our cars, so we'll then need to spend another hour in line later this week to get our cars washed. Hmmmm, I'm sensing a conspiracy. Well played, car wash owners. But again, at least it is raining, at least in parts of the state. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/current-radar.png Unfortunately for N and W Oklahoma, this is another southern storm, so those parts of the state that need water the most will mostly miss out. Here are the takes from the local NWS offices (with scenarios that are already playing out). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/nws-norman-rain1.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/nws-norman-rain2.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/nws-shreveport-rain.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/nws-tulsa-rain.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/3day-rain-forecast.gif Following that, we go into a very pleasant stretch of weather, albeit dry, unfortunately. But at least it will be seasonable-to-above-seasonable in the temperature column...at least for the highs. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/nws-norman-7day.jpg There's just a hint of a storm system for 10 days out or so, but of course that's but a fantasy-cast at this point. The Canadian model isn't very bullish on the prospects with less than a 30% chance of seeing at least an inch of rain accumulate from the 11th through the 24th across the western half of the state. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150309/march11-24-1inch-odds.gif I'll take the rain today, however. A fine form of moisture. Ever hear of snow, sleet, freezing rain? Morons! (snow, sleet and freezing rain...not you!)
