MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... January 14, 2016 January 14, 2016 January 14, 2016 January 14, 2016 Weekend? Oh, that must mean a cold front is due. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/rickman.jpg We're gonna have some great January weather today with highs in the 50s and 60s, although it will be a tad windy. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/thurs-forecast-highs.png The bottom drops out tomorrow, however, and temperatures will plunge back below normal just in time for the weekend. AGAIN! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/nws-norman-temps.jpg With this cold front comes an upper-level system that will have a tiny bit of moisture to work with, then another system that will also have scant moisture to work with early next week follows soon thereafter. So technically, there will be a chance of snow. But don't call it a snowstorm. More of a chance to see some flakes here and there along with a cold rain. But there really just isn't enough moisture to work with here to get a sledding event. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/5day-precip-forecast.gif Here are the thoughts, in pictures, from our local NWS offices. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/nws-norman-saturday.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/nws-norman.sun-mon.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/nws-tulsa-saturday.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/nws-amarillo-weekend.gif There might be a better chance for precip next week. Too early to say what type of air mass it will be working with (i.e., cold enough to snow, another cold rain, storms, etc.), so you'll just have to wait on that one. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20160114/jan21-27-precip-outlook.gif So enjoy today, if you like warm(er) weather. Enjoy the weekend if you like the cold. Yippy ki yay, Oklahoma! R.I.P. Mr. Rickman. Severus Snape to many, but he'll always be Hans Gruber to me.
