MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 Mother Nature-rolled! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/7day-rain-forecast.png Dadblastit! Looks like our lovely time will continue. In addition to the 50 or so tornadoes (guesstimating) we've had over the last 30 days, our rainfall has acted the fool just like the severe weather. Just about the entire northern half of the state is one gigantic flood warning. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/latest.oklahoma.flood.gif And our lakes are beyond full (note: these are from 3 Monday, before another half-lakefull fell). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/lake-levels.png Unfortunately, it ain't over yet. What, this isn't enough over the last 30 days, Mother Nature? http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/rainrfc.720hr.png How about the 3rd wettest May 1-24 on record with a statewide average of 8.13 inches? Second wettest for NC and NE OK. Third for the WC and central sections. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/may1-24-rain-stats.png How about 6-12 inches above normal from WC through NE OK (i.e., 200-400% above normal for that time frame)! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/month.norm_dep.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/month.norm_pct.png Like I said, it ain't over. Look past old Rick in the top graphic and you can see another 3-5 inches forecast for the NW 2/3rds of the state, and then we see another wet period on tap to end next week as well! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190524/may29-june2-precip-outlook.gif Why do I keep using so many exclamation points?!?! WHY NOT JUST ALL CAPS LIKE A NORMAL PERSON? OH YEAH, THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THEN THE REST OF THE STATE NEXT WEEK TUESDAY. Ugh, I think I'll stick to exclamation points! Mother Nature is!
