MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 16, 2023 June 16, 2023 June 16, 2023 June 16, 2023 SUMMER IS HERE! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/tmax.ge100.png Well there ya go...our first triple-digit temperature of the year signalling summer's take off. Sometimes it comes in March, sometimes it comes in April or May, but it always comes, don't it? Yes it do. Sorry, I'm boycotting "does" until it pays me my money. And not only did we see that first 100 down there in SW OK at Altus--like who else would it be...Nowata??--but you combine the incredible moisture that had surged into the state and it was downright NASTY down that way! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/yesterdays-high-heat.index.png Not quite so bad in the rest of the state. Here are the actual air temperatures. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/yesterdays-highs.png All that heat and moisture fed the severe weather outbreak of yesterday, which saw a few tornadoes (NWS personnel will be investigating a handful over the next few days), lots of hail and high winds across the SW half of the state, largely. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/yesterday.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/yesterday.gust.gif More severe weather is possible today, although the chances for impactful weather appear greater tomorrow with wind and hail being the primary threat. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/OK_swody2.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/OK_swody2_TORN.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/OK_swody2_WIND.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/OK_swody2_HAIL.png At least it's bringing more rain, which is bringing us LESS drought. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/rainrfc.24hr.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/20230613_ok_trd.png Now back to summer! A bit of a lull over the weekend before we go back to the frying pan early next week. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/monday-forecast-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/tuesday-forecast-highs.png Yeah, not everybody appreciates it but it's better'n tornadoes! And before you complain too much, it could be worse. You could be in Texas...just in general, but for the weather, too. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230616/monday-SP-highs.png I KID!
