It was the most significant rain we got since I returned here in late June. I really liked the cool weather this morning. Also, am I the only person from Oklahoma and states north on this forum? I feel like there's almost no one from my area for whatever reason. Maybe Oklahoma City is getting a very wet August? By the way, 87mph wind report near Piedmont, OK. I have heard that there was a probable tornado near Edmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OKC airport had its fifth wettest August on record (data since 1948). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookingnorth Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 We may finally get below 60F for the first time this fall in about a week. It would be the latest first sub-60F low on record by about 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstrunk Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I'm definitely looking forward to some cooler temps next week. September was a heater. And would a little bit of rain be too much to ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yesterday, 7.1" snow fell in Bismarck. That easily surpassed the previous daily record for October 10 of 2.3" from 1959. In addition, it was the earliest daily snowfall of 6" or more on record. The prior record was established on October 23, 1991. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookingnorth Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Oklahoma set a new snowfall record for the month of October! https://twitter.com/NWSNorman/status/1187780076026249216 It was just depressingly cold and rainy here in Norman, but I'd rather not have snow until after Thanksgiving anyway, so I can't be too disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 We might have severe weather problems on Halloween around these parts into KS. Trough orientation has become increasingly favorable with time and good moisture available for the time of year (low-mid 60s dewpoints). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Looks like the best shot at severe convection will be in the vicinity of dryline/cold front intersection over south-central Kansas into north-central Oklahoma late Wednesday. Farther south, moisture may be slightly richer, but weaker forcing and more modest lapse rates should exist. CAMs attempt to initiate a few isolated cells down toward I-40 near OKC. Near or northeast of Wichita, linear storm modes are more likely as deep shear will be nearly parallel to a surging cold front. Between these two areas is where the higher likelihood may exist for a few longer-lived discrete/semi-discrete storms. Keeping an eye on this. We are getting into the cool season, so it’s more of a stronger shear / modest instability setup. Not a high-end scenario, but robust for late October standards. The typical biases exist. HRRR may be mixing out low level moisture too quick and surging faster (too fast?) with the cold front. 3km NAM is juicier and is just a bit slower with frontal progression.

Chinook Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 A tornado watch will be issued fairly soon (Wichita, Oklahoma City) Quote Mesoscale Discussion 2163 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0115 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...Western/northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 301815Z - 301945Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...There is an increasing threat for supercells this afternoon across western/north-central Oklahoma and southern Kansas. These storms will have a threat for large hail and a few tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Less than ideal considering we have storms going near I-40 in W OK right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Almost everything is over performing so far. Moisture, mid-level lapse rates, CI (much earlier and farther south than most CAMs) and instability. Mesoanalysis shows substantial low-level CAPE near the developing convection in western Oklahoma, which HRRR handled very poorly. There’s virtually no capping out there and the 18z LMN sounding suggests there’s minimal capping remaining near I-35. WoFS is running and several members show CI even south of I-40. Latest SREF severe probabilities have also increased substantially in central/southern Oklahoma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Not a whole lot is going on yet. It might be that this is a fairly weak severe weather outbreak, despite the enhanced risk for tornadoes/wind and decent S.T.P. radar 6:25 central time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Sunday night. The convective allowing models have, perhaps a mess of a squall line, perhaps a number of supercells. There should be with higher storm-relative helicity available with a chance of significant tornadoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheeselandSkies Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 That was not on my bingo card for last night. Central OK was on the fringe of the 2%. If that was going to happen would have been looking for it a couple days ago with the 10 hatch, or tomorrow with the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookingnorth Posted November 3 Author Share Posted November 3 I lost power last night from one of the storms that produced a tornado. But thankfully the tornado did not hit me. I have seen some branches down in Norman today, but I didn't notice any major damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
