MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... September 19, 2024 September 19, 2024 September 19, 2024 September 19, 2024 Fallin' for you https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/monday-forecast-highs.png I'm ready. You ready? We ready? My AIR CONDITIONER is ready! My ELECTRIC BILL is ready! My TREES are ready! It's time for fall to arrive and stay. I don't know how long this cool-down will last, nor if I needed a hyphen there. That alone should give us all pause (if it gave us paws, that's a whole other story...well arf arf to you, too!). But we do know we're set for another 2-3 days, depending on where you live, of summer before we see a true FALL cold front and a nice cool down (see?) for next week. Now this cooldown (what the!) will even see lows approaching the 30s in the Panhandle early next week! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/7day-temp-forecast.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/monday-lows.png Nice. But let's get through summer first, and the possibility of severe weather tonight! Watch for storms to form up north and then approach the I-44 corridor where they will hopefully knock anybody driving slow in the left lane back into the right lane, but more importantly...give us some rain. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/OK_swody1.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/OK_swody1_WIND.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/OK_swody1_HAIL.png We definitely need the rain. Still not seeing a drought-ender in the 7-day forecast. Quite a bit of rain after that period, but I shan't get hopes up just yet. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/7day-rain-forecast.png The seasonal outlooks for the October-December 3-month period from CPC sure aren't bullish on a cool-wet fall, nor much of a wet October! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/october-outlooks.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/oct-dec-outlooks.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/oct-dec-drought-outlook.png Let me just say if you're starting out a possible dry and warm fall with THIS amount and severity of drought in place...you might be asking for trouble. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/20240917_ok_trd.png There's always a hitch though, right? Maybe our hitch would be a gift from the Tropics? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/CPC-Key-Message-1.png Does something wicked this way come? Fantasy-cast, but still... https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240919/prateptype_cat-imp.conus.png Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climate Survey gmcmanus@ou.edu ================================================== 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 ===================================================
