MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... November 21, 2018 November 21, 2018 November 21, 2018 November 21, 2018 ThanksTicker http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20181121/Thanksgiving-Forecast.png Just a quick Thanksgiving Tick as we all tock about turkey and dressing and football and Tums. Pretty boring weather this week, which is good considering so many travel for the holiday. It's gonna be a bit on the seasonable side and pretty windy over today and much of tomorrow, then a chance of rain across eastern Oklahoma Thursday night and Friday. Then we see another big honking cold front this weekend. After a bit of a scare, looks like it will be a mostly dry front. Here are some helpful graphics from our local NWS friends to point the way. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20181121/nws-norman-thurs-night-rain.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20181121/nws-norman-friday-rain.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20181121/nws-tulsa-weekend-cold.front.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20181121/nws-norman-7day-planner.png Tulsa reminds us of possible fire danger as the winds pick up with dry air already in place. After the hard freezes of the past couple of weeks, the vegetation is nice and dead/dormant, waiting for a spark. "A strong cold front will pass through the region on Sunday. Temperatures ahead of the front will be mild with gusty winds. Once the front passes, temperatures will be sharply colder along with strong northerly winds. The persistent gusty winds will raise the potential for any wildfires to spread quickly." Maybe some changes in a week or so from now, but for now, borrrriiinngggg! Gobble gobble.
