MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... July 13, 2020 July 13, 2020 July 13, 2020 July 13, 2020 What a weekend Yeah, that was a heck of a weekend (I was gonna say "hell" but I didn't want to get in trouble). What we thought would happen: http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200709/7day-rain-forecast.gif What really happened! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/4day-rain-totals.png So we're so used to seeing the rainfall totals underperforming from what was forecast, we're a bit shocked to see all those generous rainfall amounts. Even more shocking was the generous WIND amounts, that ended up carving a swath of damage from northern through south central Oklahoma. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/july12-max-gusts.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/july13-max-gusts.gif A ton of folks were left without power, and to add insult to injury, this was a weekend where you REALLY needed an air conditioner. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/july11-max-heat.index.png In order to enhance our rain chances, I'm going to once again post a rather bleak 7-day forecast map. At least this one is showing some decent rains in the Panhandle, the hardest hit drought region in the state. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/7day-rain-forecast.gif There are actual forecast rain chances coming up in the middle of the week, so we will probably see storms here and there. Maybe not the large MCS events that we saw this weekend, but rain chances nonetheless. Other than that, the heat dome/death ridge is still around and possibly building north, which would limit our rain chances even further. And heck, it's raining now! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20200713/current-radar.png So as we go forward into the week, rainfall is possible but iffy. Heat is guaranteed.
