August 31, 2018 August 31, 2018 August 31, 2018 August 31, 2018 Beat the heat! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/7day-rain-forecast.png Had enough of summer? Ha! This summer has been incredibly mild. Only now do we realize how lucky we've been after most of August was spent in September territory, climatologically (with a bit of October thrown in here and there). So we have a day or two left of the current heatwave before we see relief once again. Then Mother Nature sends out here firefighters. In this case, the "fire" is the heat we're having...not unusual for this time of the year, but the unusualness of the cooler weather this year makes the heat unusual THIS YEAR! Clear as mud? Well, let's hope there's lots of mud around next week and we're enjoying some rain. The Panhandle will see the best chance tonight and tomorrow as they get a bit of scraps from the Southwest Monsoon, and then those chances will spread into the rest of the state on Sunday into early next week. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/nws-amarillo-pattern-change.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/nws-amarillo-rain2.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/nws-norman-7day-planner.png Before that, though, we're gonna have to beat the heat. Watch for highs in the 90s and 100s today, with heat index values 5-10 degrees above that, then a nice cooldown as we get to Labor Day. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/friday-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/saturday-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/labor-day-forecast-highs.png Fall's coming, I can smell it! Wait, let me check the bottom of my shoe. Nope, wait a minute. Fall's not here just yet. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20180831/sept-7-13-temp-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 ===================================================
