Good Ticker reader Danny sent me that pic a couple of weeks ago, but we haven't really had a good (bad?) stretch of severe weather since, so four straight days of possible severe weather finally gives me a chance. Oh, the Skywarn bit? Keep looking, you'll see it. Now, how about this?
Why did the cow go to space?
Because it wanted to see the mooooon! 🐄🚀
Hey pal, they can't all be gems, right?
An unusually strong jet stream and several small storm systems look to wreak havoc on our weather over the next 3-4 days, our last chance of organized rains before the dreaded heat dome starts to move in and bring summer back. Today will be in eastern Oklahoma, for the most part, and all hazards are possible (but still rather low...we're not talking May here).

Heck, it's been severe stormin' up in the northeast this morning already, for crying out loud!

And filled some more rainfall holes.

Tomorrow, we will have a dryline out in western OK with a small storm system moving through, so if we can beat the cap, we could see isolated supercells with all hazards possible (still low, however). Otherwise, a mass of storms should build up to the NW of OK and move into the state overnight.

Then we get into the weekend with Friday and Saturday both possibly being stormy.

Now these areas could and probably will shift around over the next few days as the forecasts become a bit more clear. No, not the areas themselves...they're rooted in place. The danger zones! You know what I'm talking about, come on.
These repeated storm chances, if they pan out where they look to occur now (and they won't so why even say this?), will give these areas the best rain chances.

After that, summer hits the fan and we see our first triple-digit temps in the state, possibly.

Now, let me leave ya with this:
What do you call a cow with no legs?
Ground beef! 🐄🥩
