Ah, hail

To hail with me? No, to hail with you, pal! Okay, how about no hail for everybody? If it were only that easy (and if only it were that easy...covering all grammatical bases here). Here's the setup...should see a small chance for some marginal severe weather today, then we will see a complex of storms possibly form up in the High Plains and march southeast through the state, bringing a chance of high winds and big hail (which is much better than big winds and high hail) overnight and into tomorrow morning. The tornado risk is very low, but that very low risk is mainly down in south central OK.

Here's a look at the timing for tonight's storms from our friends at the Norman NWS office.

Now if you're like me, you've probably been contacted by the proper authorities. But also, you're still hankering (Okie to English translation: craving) for some heat. Well, today (and tomorrow) might be your day as we should belt out the rest of the holdouts on the 90s map for the year thus far. Yesterday was a start, but we need to finish the job in central OK.

As for rain from tonight's action, should be decent in some areas, and hopefully some heavier amounts across eastern Oklahoma where the moisture is suddenly in short supply.

We will see where we go from there. It's mid-June, so showers and storms are going to be popping up here and there throughout much of the next week, but nothing too organized like tonight's possible storms. And a cool front tomorrow should drop us back down out of heat status, but we'll be right back up there next week.

First 100? Today or tomorrow?
Better than high hail!
