MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 27, 2023 June 27, 2023 June 27, 2023 June 27, 2023 Thar it blows! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/OK_swody1_WIND.png You're worried about the wind, Sundance? Heck, the hail will probably kill ya! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/OK_swody1_HAIL.png And the tornado threat, while low, isn't zero on this Enhanced threat day (night really). https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/OK_swody1.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/OK_swody1_TORN.png Heck, it's storming (and raining) right now for crying out loud! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/current-radar.png So what'cha gonna do? Not much you can do but prepare for severe weather in the far northern counties and nasty moist heat to the south where heat index values are expected to get up into the 110s. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/todays-forecast-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/3pm-heat-index.forecast.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif That upper-level ridge is ensconced (English to Okie dictionary: positioned) over the Southern Plains, but just far south enough to allow a storm system to travel up and over the ridge and skirt the northern border of the state with Kansas, while also giving the southern two-thirds of the state that punishing heat. The storm timing will be this evening into the overnight hours, and yes, Tulsa will be in the severe wind threat even as it is starting to come out of the worse of the damage from last week's Derecho. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/nws-amarillo-timing.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/nws-norman-timing.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/nws-tulsa-timing.png As Tulsans can tell you, now would not be a good time to lose power due to storm damage, especially with the hottest day of the year coming tomorrow. These are ACTUAL air temps, not heat index values! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/tomorrows-forecast-highs.png The bronze lining (budget cuts), unless you're wanting to harvest wheat? At least there's rain with the storms? https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230627/48hour-rain-forecast.png Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey gmcmanus@mesonet.org ================================================== The OCS/Mesonet Ticker https://ticker.mesonet.org/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from the Ticker or for questions about the Ticker or its content Phone or Email the Ticker Manager at OCS Phone: 405-325-2253 Email: ticker@mesonet.org --------------------------------------------------- -C- Copyright 2024 Oklahoma Climatological Survey ===================================================
