MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 24, 2023 May 24, 2023 May 24, 2023 May 24, 2023 Summer still percolating https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/summer-delayed.png Well not much has happened in Oklahoma's weather in our 5-day absence (consider that a gift...not the boring weather, the absence). But this time of year, boring is good. It's rained in places that needed it, and not in other places that REALLY needed it. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/5day-rain-totals.png And temperatures have been well under control. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/tmax.ge90_streak.png And temperatures look to remain in control, all the way through June, possibly. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/nws-norman-7day-temps.png But hey, you know me (wait, how do YOU know me?? STALKER ALERT!), if it's gonna be this humid, then the summer heat I so crave just needs to stay away. My Panhandle-esque sensibilities can't handle the high heat indexes. Indices? I'm going with indexes. But we haven't seen a temperature of 90 in the state since May 12, and nobody's seen 100 yet. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/tmax.ge90.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/tmax.ge100.png So we will continue with the off-and-on rain chances for awhile. Looks to be centered on western Oklahoma, which is a good thing for the most part. Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/current-radar.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230524/48hour-rain-forecast.png But summer's coming, alright. Soon, and for 6 straight months.
