MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... August 23, 1999 August 23, 1999 August 23, 1999 August 23, 1999 Avoiding the Obvious for the Moment ... There's a lot going on in the weather today! Hurricane Bret made landfall along the south Texas gulf coast last night, and a cold front is prompting showers in Oklahoma this morning. All of this fun weather is great, but the Ticker would like to present a subtlety from this morning's Mesonet data. A quick look at the 24-hour temperature change map shows the effect of an approaching cold (well, for August, anyway) front on a summer night: http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/19990823/delta.tair24.gif Dew points near 70 F and enhanced southerly winds mean warmer overnight and morning temperatures, and that's exactly what the graphic shows. A well-defined nose of warmer morning temperatures (sompared to yesterday) is easily discernible on the warm side of front. For reference here was the weather map at that time: http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/19990823/current.wx.gif The eastern half of the state may get some relief with a frontal passage this afternoon, but they paid their dues this morning! ================================================== 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 ===================================================
