Sitting in Lockney hoping one of these storms slightly ahead of the main line goes because it seems to be the best chance to not have to deal with anything rain-wrapped. We’ll see.

Are we still expecting a death ridge and consistent 90-degree temps in Oklahoma shortly after Memorial Day, or have the recent long-range models started to look better in that regard? Because if they haven't, we're really down to banking on an extremely active May to make up for the horrendous start to this season. It would be one thing if we were missing out on severe weather but at least getting a decent amount of garden-variety activity to make up for it, but in the last six months, I've had a grand total of four thunderstorm days (10/21, 12/19, 2/20, 2/24). It's really just sad at this point...

Nice small-scale bow moving through Northern OK right now. Alva's mesonet site gusted to 78 mph at 8:30...and then to 78 mph again at 8:45.

And a 30F T/TD spread...that cloud base looked like it was in the stratosphere lol
