February 12, 2018 February 12, 2018 February 12, 2018 February 12, 2018 The secret about droughts http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180212/crying.jordan.forecast.png Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed, poor mountaineer...whoops, wrong story. Let me tell you a story (a secret, really) about droughts: it doesn't rain a lot during them. And here's another secret...when you get a lot of rain in the forecast, it generally doesn't pan out. So our ballyhooed storm system for this week is starting to look more and more anemic as we go forward. I had people asking me if we were going to get a snow day (or ice day?) on Friday. SNOW DAY? You should be happy for a decent cold rain. It's drought! But it did rain and ice a tad over the weekend. We had slippery travel once again off in eastern Oklahoma, but totals were underwhelming. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180212/3day-rain-totals.png But other than that, it's the same old story. It's gonna be cold, them warm, then almost hot with increased fire danger, then a mostly dry cold front with possibly just enough frozen precip to be a nuisance. Thursday? YAYYYYY!!! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180212/thursday-forecast-highs.png Friday? BOOOOOO!!! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180212/friday-forecast-highs.png Then we can look towards next week's MASSIVE storm system that's just starting to be hyped, and hope that hype actually comes true. One has to eventually! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180212/feb19-25-precip-outlook.gif Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey (405) 325-2253 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 ===================================================
