MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... October 18, 2011 October 18, 2011 October 18, 2011 October 18, 2011 Wind chills dip below freezing in the Panhandle Yesterday's cold front left Oklahoma with some of its coldest weather of the season this morning. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20111018/today.TAIR.min.grad.png The strong winds overnight no doubt helped keep the air mixed a bit and prevented the temperatures from plummeting further from the Mesonet low of 36 degrees last night. That doesn't match the 35 degrees Kenton on the 13th and at Nowata on the second. But when you add the winds, the wind chills make it the coldest morning seen in the state since last May. Wind chills dropped to below freezing up in the Panhandle with 28 degrees calculated at Boise City and Goodwell. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20111018/today.TAPP.min.grad.png That's the lowest wind chill recorded by the Mesonet's 120 stations since Boise City blew in at 27 degrees last May 15th. The front also kicked off severe storms in eastern Oklahoma. Better yet were the rainfall totals of more than an inch scattered about in southeastern Oklahoma. A drop in the bucket compared to their deficits over the last year or so, but welcome nonetheless. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20111018/rainrfc.24hr.png Temperatures are expected to continue their nighttime decline over the next few days. Freezing temperatures in northern Oklahoma are possible as we go through the rest of the week.
