MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 23, 2023 June 23, 2023 June 23, 2023 June 23, 2023 HOT HOT HOT! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/heat.wave.png Sorry, very little time to Tock today. I'm working on the follow-up to my #1 smash hit "The Tornado Blowed Over My Beer." Many people thought it sounded more like a #2. Wait for it... Okay. Same setup today as the past several days with storms rolling in this morning, then more storms out west this afternoon that also might roll in. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/current-radar.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/OK_swody1.png So be sure to remain weather aware for severe weather. As you can see, there is (or was, as you read this) a severe thunderstorm warning up in the NW, so these storms aren't wimps, necessarily. Trust me, I know wimpy. I served with wimpy in...okay, it's me. Also not wimpy...the heat today in the southwest. Watch for heat index values up above 110 degrees. Also, NWS Tulsa is still watching those heat index values rise close to 100 degrees with so many still without power after the derecho devastated that area last weekend. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/todays-highs.png Then a brief cooldown early next week before summer comes roaring back. You see above we have actual air temperatures forecast to be in the triple-digits across most of the state by the middle of next week. Looks to not last long, but that's getting out into the 7-day period where those forecasts get a bit shaky. As long as that heat dome is hanging around the Southern Plains, we could easily slide in and out of extreme temperatures, so something to keep an eye on. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/nws-norman-7day-temps.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230623/june28-july2-outlooks.png Now, back to my tunes...
