MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... July 16, 2014 July 16, 2014 July 16, 2014 July 16, 2014 Here comes the rain! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/current-radar.png The first of a lot of it, at least. A first wave, if you will, although there have already been fits and starts of rain over the last couple of days following our friend, the July cold front. Here's what we have for totals thus far through that period. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/3day-rain-totals.png Sort of looks like rainfall acne, which in case means Breckinridge has the biggest whitehead. Soon to be popped by some even larger moisture infections over the next few days (gee, I hope you're not eating whilst you read this!). http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/3day-rain-forecast.gif I hate to quote Shaggy here (you Daphne followers can insert "jeepers!", but "zoinks!" That's a lot of rainfall for July. There will surely be flash flooding if that type of rain falls, and that's exactly why much of the SW half of the state is in a flash flood watch from the NWS. Even the Panhandle, for crying out loud! Check out the dark green counties. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/ff-watches.png The temperatures plummeted this morning as promised, and surely some records were broken up in the extreme eastern OK where temperatures dropped as low as 51 degrees. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/todays-lows.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/record-lows-july16.png And we'll probably see plenty of record low maximum temperatures set today as the cool air combined with the rain and clouds keep the thermometer down in the 70s. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/todays-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/record-low.tmax-july16.png Tomorrow is going to be the coolest day of all, it appears. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/thursday-forecast-highs.png I sure wouldn't be shocked if we see some 60s for highs if the rain sticks around in some places. But there are 60s forecast for the extreme NE, so it's in the realm of possibilities. Once again, we leave you with guidance from our local NWS offices. Keep tuned to those folks and your favorite broadcast weather folks to be advised of any flash flooding, river flooding, or even severe weather impacts. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-amarillo1.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-amarillo2.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-norman1.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-norman2.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-norman3.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-norman4.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-shreveport.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20140716/nws-tulsa.png This little break in summer is great, but when it returns ... it's gonna be soupy around here! And clear to partly mosquito.
