MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... July 27, 2017 July 27, 2017 July 27, 2017 July 27, 2017 You like apples? http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/apples.png Oh, questioning my cold (well, cool really) front placement? Well, the winds AND the analysis from real professionals tell the tale. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/current.gustarrows.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/latest-analysis.gif You can't always tell with the presence of rain throwing things off. Wait, rain? YES, RAIN!! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/current-radar.png Totals haven't been extraordinary just yet, but it's something. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/24hr-totals.png The western Panhandle is the real winner thus far (they always are, because they are the Panhandle...best spot in Oklahoma!), but it would appear they aren't nearly finished out that way. Flash flooding will be a concern in Cimarron County. Not so rosy for parts south and east of there, at least according to the latest forecasts. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/5day-rain-totals.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/latest.oklahoma.flood.gif Uhhh, can that area even hold that much rain? I guess we're gonna find out. A half-inch or more possibly as you get into central OK. Gonna need more. Check out the new Drought Monitor report, which shows an intensifying drought from west central through central OK. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/20170725_OK_trd.png Yikes, severe drought now encompassing a decent patch of the state...4% thus far and building. Seems obvious we'll see some relief for all that yellow/brown color to the north and west, but maybe not so much across central Oklahoma, where the deficits continue to build and the temperatures have been soaring. Kingfisher has had a measly inch of rain over the last 60 days, 13 percent of normal over that period. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/60day-totals.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/60day-pct-normal.png One more REALLY hot day, at least for most of the state, as that cool front lingers around. Then the northwesterly flow kicks in for real and some even cooler air filters south early next week. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/today-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/sunday-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170727/monday-forecast-highs.png 80s statewide on Monday? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I like them apples.
