July 12, 2017 July 12, 2017 July 12, 2017 July 12, 2017 Doldrums http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/doldrums.jpg Argh, that dreaded summer line come to life: "Is it hot enough fer ya?" Use it often and lose friends, use it too little and get branded a lunatic. I prefer the latter, so I'll just ask...is it hot enough fer ya? Like yesterday? http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/yesterdays-highs.png And, as I warned, that rain over the last month across eastern Oklahoma was going to come around and bite them in the tail. What comes down must go back up as water vapor, creating a hot sticky mess over that way. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/yesterdays-high-heat.index.png As you can see from today's forecast highs in that first image above, expect more of the same (HELLO, DOLDRUMS!), and more steamy conditions across eastern OK. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/latest.oklahoma.heat.gif Very un-doldrumslike, however, is the chance of rain coming up over the weekend. A very small chance, mind you, but a chance nevertheless. We're not talking inches here, sadly, but 'tis enough to drop us down 5-10 degrees for a bit. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/7day-rain-forecast.gif I've heard rumblings of the heat dome building back next week. The medium range outlooks think otherwise. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/jul17-21-outlook.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20170712/jul19-25-outlook.gif Normal. Below normal. Above normal. Hey, it's all summer to me. About as exciting as watching paint dry. Or a bilge pump.
