MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 10, 2022 October 10, 2022 October 10, 2022 October 10, 2022 Ronald McDroughtald https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/5day-rain-forecast.png Yeah, things are getting creepy all right. So much so that I even saw widespread 30s on the fantasy-cast! I know, right? Way too early for 30s, and somebody in their 50s would know. Of course, 20s would be nice, but only if you're in your 60s, but it wasn't long ago that we were all in the 100s. Wait, are we talking about age or temperatures? Confused? Good, welcome to my world. But hey, we've had some rain over the last few days. Not bad, not bad at all for a select few. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/4day-rain-totals.png Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud! I've decided that's what I'm gonna say from now on if it's raining whilst I'm Ticking. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/current-radar.png And more chances on the way! You can see some amounts above on our Ronald McDonald terrorizing toys pic, but that's better than trying to pull a Ronald McDonald Miller scam on us! "Can't Buy Me Love" anyone? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/scam.jpg Yeah, before he was McDreamy he was McNerdy, and a McManus knows his Mcs! So those chances are pretty good across parts of Oklahoma today, and we will even have a chance of some hefty storms and heavy rainfall. Not widespread, I'm thinking, but here and there if you're under the right storm. The severe storm chances peak tomorrow, but not much to worry about. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/day2otlk_0600.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/day2probotlk_0600_torn.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/day2probotlk_0600_wind.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/day2probotlk_0600_hail.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/excessive-rainfall.gif We desperately need the rain. Despite what we've gotten over the last few days, we're still moving forward from June 11 with our driest such (advancing) period in the last 100 years at least. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/june11-oct10-rain-stats.png We're running out of time for relief during our secondary fall rainy season. The pattern moving forward appears to show a big trough of low pressure over the East, and a big ridge over the West. With counter-clockwise flow around that low, and clockwise flow around the ridge, we'll be stuck with northwesterly flow. You know what that means! You don't? RATS! I don't either. Let me go look it up. Okay, back. Yeah, that means period cold fronts but also no flow from the Gulf, so DRY cold fronts. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221010/oct15-19-outlooks.png I knew what it meant all along heh heh. Dammit Jim, I'm a Climatologist, not a Synoptician! Wait, is your name Jim? Anyway... Our big hope is that the cutoff low showing up across the Desert Southwest will send us some rain chances, much like we're seeing now with a washed-out cutoff low moving over us. But let's hope for good things over the next couple of days. We'll worry about fantasy-cast stuff later.
