MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... January 5, 2015 January 5, 2015 January 5, 2015 January 5, 2015 Chill and Chill Again Okay, I did blatantly steal that title from the wondrous 1981 martial arts movie of similar name (hey, he's not one of the best, he's THE best!), http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/again.jpg but having just come out of the deep chill, a look at the forecast warns us to not get used to the 40s we'll see over the next couple of days. Better ignore today's low temperatures too (at least until we reach those 40s). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/todays-lows.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/todays-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/tuesday-highs.png A couple of caveats there, of course. Northern OK won't see many 40s, and on Tuesday we'll see the beginning of the invasion of arctic air again. By Wednesday, even that Tuesday map will be remembered with envy. For Thursday...just stay in bed. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/wednesday-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/thursday-lows.png Our friends at the NWS talk about the coming chill, and also the precip chances that might show up later this week (get the BRAUM'S DEFCON METER ready!). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/nws-norman1.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/nws-norman2.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/nws-tulsa.png That forecast is subject to lots of change (probably right up until it starts), so keep checking back with your favorite NWS or media source. After the decent snowfall totals in the Panhandle, we're still waiting on some melting to see how much liquid equivalent we ended up with. Guymon reported 5 inches of snow with this last event, and Beaver had 1.5 inches. No doubt there were others that received somewhere between those two figures (and more or less), but that's still a nice snow for that area. That's why the gauges up that way show less than a quarter-inch, but the radar estimates show as much as three-quarters. And SE OK, as predicted, received some great moisture. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20150105/10day-rainfall.png 3-4 inches in McCurtain County will calm that drought area down in a hurry. Last words? Enjoy your 30s and 40s. Come Wednesday morning, those will be but a fond memory.
