MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 14, 2022 October 14, 2022 October 14, 2022 October 14, 2022 BIGTIME! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/fri-mon-rain-forecast.png I have very little time to Tock to you today, I got hit in the head by a pillow this morning and it gave me a concushion. I wanted to Tick anyway because we got big goings on happening in the weather in the next few days. FIRST, the rain. Yes, I managed to use my power to have that rain SPREAD-NOT-SHIFT (I'll never live that one down) to the north and now most of Oklahoma will see appreciable rainfall. In doing so, I hope to see appreciable bags of money from all of you. Okay, maybe it wasn't MY doing, but the models have certainly given us some hope for a good 1" of rain across a good portion of the state, and a bit less (or more) here and there, associated with this cold front coming to the state Saturday. Should rain through parts of Sunday. Ahhh, the cold front. Turns out it's bringing a bit of winter with it. Some would say fall, I says winter when I see widespread lows in the 30s. Now we had Nowata come pretty close to freezing this morning with 34 degrees. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/todays-lows.png So we haven't seen the state's first freeze yet. I'm thinking SOMEBODY hits 32 degrees Monday morning. But if not, Tuesday looks downright frosty. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/monday-morning-lows.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/tuesday-morning-lows.png And going along with really stupid weather in 2022, that would indeed be a very early first fall freeze for even northern OK (but not the Panhandle). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/earliest_firstfreeze.1991-2020.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/avg_firstfreeze.1991-2020.png We don't like to say the F-word ("freeze," potty mouths!) this early, but it looks like it's gonna happen. Another F-word...fire. Yeah, it's gonna be a big problem today, especially across the historically dry NE OK area. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/latest.oklahoma.fire.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/nws-tulsa-fire.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/nws-norman-fire.png For those of you (like me) that dread breaking out the coats and whatnot, let's just celebrate the last 2 days of late-summer! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/todays-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20221014/saturdays-highs.png Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey gmcmanus@mesonet.org ================================================== The OCS/Mesonet Ticker https://ticker.mesonet.org/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from the Ticker or for questions about the Ticker or its content Phone or Email the Ticker Manager at OCS Phone: 405-325-2253 Email: ticker@mesonet.org --------------------------------------------------- -C- Copyright 2024 Oklahoma Climatological Survey ===================================================
