One of THOSE days




Uh oh, it's one of THOSE days in Oklahoma. You know, when you go outside and see
condensation on your concrete, and that stiff south breeze hitting you in the
face. That recognition of moisture return in advance of a cold front and dryline
makes your hair stand up on your head (or in my case, it makes my hair stand up
on my eyebrows...don't laugh, you'll be there soon!). Add highs in the upper-70s
and probably a few low-80s and you have trouble brewing in severe weather city.







Storms could form as early as 11am and head east, with discrete supercells possible
as they tread eastward before lining out and forming an MCS. It's in the discrete
mode that they are most dangerous. I'm most dangerous when I'm indiscrete. Alas,
I digress.





The good news? The rain. Sorry western OK...you're still in possible flash
drought mode.



After that, back to boring spring-ish type seasonable temps and little chance
for rain.



Boring for SE OK will be good. Boring for NW OK will be bad.

Stay weather aware today, especially SE of the I-44 corridor.
