MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 10, 2023 May 10, 2023 May 10, 2023 May 10, 2023 Rainy Season Day 2 https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/spring-rainy-season-day2.png We continue to try and fit the rest of our Spring Rainy Season (capitalized for no reason whatsoever) into one week. Round 2 today, and yesterday's totals were just about what we expected...forecast, even (oh woe be to those that say "forecasted"). Here's what was forecasted...it's okay, I'm already woe. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230509/24hr-rain-forecast.png And here's what fell: https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/rainrfc.24hr.png And while the eastern third of the state is expected to get the lion's share of today's moisture, it's the Panhandle and the rest of the High Plains under the severe weather gun. And no, I DON'T know who this lion is, and why he's giving away his portion of moisture. I'm betting it's voluntary, because who would be able to TAKE something from a lion? Something to ponder as you gaze at today's SPC severe wx outlooks. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody1.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody1_TORN.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody1_WIND.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody1_HAIL.png So nothing too bad, at least. Tomorrow looks like maybe one of THOSE days. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody2.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody2_TORN.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody2_WIND.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/OK_swody2_HAIL.png More on that tomorrow, and watch who you're calling moron. We're still looking at the tiger's share (the lion is all out, apparently) of rainfall coming this weekend, which is apropos since it's Mother's Day and all. It really balloons those forecast rainfall totals over the next 5 days. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230510/5day-rain-forecast.gif Speaking of Mother's Day, when is there going to be a day for Father's? We could call it Father's Day. That's only fair. I'm starting a petition!
