MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... December 7, 2015 December 7, 2015 December 7, 2015 December 7, 2015 Anti-BRRR! http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/winter.jpg Finally, winter is over and we turn our eyes to spring... http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/nws-ama-warm-wx.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/nws-norman-warm-wx.jpg http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/nws-tulsa-warm-wx.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/todays-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/wednesday-forecast-highs.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/friday-forecast-highs.png Well, maybe we're speaking a bit too soon there with most of December, January and February still on the way (i.e., WINTER), but this week looks downright balmy compared to normal. Those 60s and 70s are 15-20 degrees above normal for this time of year. It does appear our next chance of precip and cooler weather will come later in the weekend, and the forecast even then doesn't show any particularly cold air. More seasonable type weather. NWS Norman is starting to indicate it on their 7-day planner. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/nws-norman-7day-planner.jpg Notice they have a few flakes showing at the end there, but still, 50s for highs and 30s for lows is normal for this time of year. Most of the moisture looks pegged for eastern Oklahoma, and we're not talking a repeat of the previous winter system we had. There won't be nearly as much cold air, nor will there be as much moisture to work with. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20151207/7day-precip-forecast.gif Enjoy it for now (or hate it, if you're one of THOSE people!), because winter shall return. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Calm down, Rick. How about until spring instead?
