I don't control the weather (or do I! insert evil laughter here). Hey, did ya know that yesterday was the second hottest Sept. 19 on record in the State of Oklahoma, going back to the late 1800s? With a statewide average (highs + lows) of 85 degrees, we fell short of beating the old record set back in 1954 of 87.1 degrees. We also tied for the second highest temperature ever recorded on a Sept. 19 with several 105s, just behind the 106 at Gate back in 1997. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/yesterdays-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/sept19-records.png Not to mention (okay, I'm mentioning it) the heat index and wet bulb globe temperature risk, which were both ridiculous. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/yesterdays-high-heat.index.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/yesterdays-wbgt.png Well, watch these numbers, because we are probably going to do it all over again today (clouds and rain notwithstanding). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/sept20-records.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/todays-highs.png AND tomorrow. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/saturday-forecast-highs.png A loooooooooooooooooong (or is that lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng?) two days before we get cold frontal action. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/sunday-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/monday-highs.png So yes, things will get bett...wait, did you say "rain?" Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20240920/current-radar.png AND some folks got a good dose last night.
