MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... June 27, 2022 June 27, 2022 June 27, 2022 June 27, 2022 The Hunt for Junetober https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/todays-forecast-highs.png Sean Connery is a serial smacker. Ever notice how he eats in movies? Lots of noise, lots of greasy lips but his mouth never seems to close. "The Hunt for Red October" was a good example because he had to eat some sort of poached or steamed fish (and we all know just how gross that can be). Up until the yesterday, you could have poached or steamed a fish by just throwing it on the sidewalk. BOOM! Now THAT'S a segue! The consecutive days at or above 90 degrees map officially puts our heat wave at 16 days for most of the state, but 17 for most of those unlucky folks down south that didn't get the front in time to stave off the true heat of the day. Yesterday's temperature difference across the state was so crazy we set (shattered, really) records for LOW max temperatures in the western Panhandle at the same time as approaching near HIGH max temperatures in SE OK. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/yesterdays-highs.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/june26-low-tmax-records-.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/june26-hi-tmax-records.png And of course it FELT much worse than that down in the SE. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/yesterdays-high-heat.index.png Everybody gets into the much cooler act today, with more record LOW max temps in the western Panhandle, and much higher comfort level down south as you can see from the records map vs. the forecast highs from the top map. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/june27-low-tmax-records.png Heck, it even felt like fall this morning for some of us. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/todays-min-temps.png Helping those folks in the NW approach or shatter those low max temp records will be plenty of cloudiness, and maybe a bit of rain. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/S_Plains.02.jpg Endless gray skies, drizzle, temperatures in the 50s and 60s...can fall be far behind? Well, yes it can. We're back into the frying pan later this week. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/friday-forecast-highs.png And speaking of rain, they got a good dousing up in the NW the last couple of days as expected...maybe even better than expected. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/48hour-rain-totals.png Don't expect much more without a front there to focus on. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/7day-rain-forecast.gif So we ended our nice little June heat wave...the hottest extended bout of heat we've seen in the state since December 2021...errrrr, July 2020. And the hottest extended June weather we've seen since the 2011-2012 versions. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20220627/june-high-temps.png Now, give me a summer, Vasili. One summer only.
