MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... September 9, 2024 September 9, 2024 September 9, 2024 September 9, 2024 Need vs Want https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/5day-rain-forecast.png Oof, that tropical system was so close. Stupid steering winds always seem to take them northeast at the ArkLaTex. You need rain, I need rain, we ALL need rain. It'll be anarchy! Screws fall out, sir. The world's not a perfect place. Hey, all the fumbled "Breakfast Club" (that's "THE" Breakfast Club to you) quotes in the world won't produce the rain we desperately need. Heck, not even the State Fair seems to be working this year (it starts on the 12th). Maybe there's a good sign ahead though? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/sept-16-22-precip-outlook.png I mean, above normal precip this time of year doesn't exactly yell "DROUGHT'S OVER," but it definitely wouldn't hurt either, especially with drought's best friend, above normal temperatures, coming this way. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/nws-norman-7day-temps.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/sept16-22-temp-outlook.png Widespread 90s? As early as Wednesday? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/wednesday-highs.png Pretty crazy considering we nearly reached the 30s this morning in SE OK. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/todays-lows.png How badly do we need that rainfall? PRETTY DARNED BADLY! Even badlier than I need a hat on a sunny day. And the badlies, even more than the left lane on the Interstate needs an eject feature for slow drivers! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/mesonet.rainfall.tenthinch.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240909/mesonet.rainfall.quarterinch.png It'll get worse before it gets better. The Interstate deal. But also the lack of rainfall. My scalp will NOT be getting better, sadly.
