Going by the mesonet site (note last night's hail storm in Norman was on the South and east sides of town away from the site) is at almost 2 inches of rain for the month. More than we've had for April and May combined. While this is good, we still need around 13 inches of rain to make up the deficit for year to date.

Get this sun back out and heat things up and SPC will have to reinstate that SLIGHT risk for us. lol

Western OK is already baking it looks like...just need these high clouds to burn off and we'll be in business. :)

HRRR/RAP seem to have a squall line developing late tonight out west that'll probably swing through early tomorrow morning. Storms already firing in West Texas where the sun has been out.

So were due for more rainfall tonight/tomorrow?

Yes...maybe another quarter to half inch.

Slight Risk for this evening increased...slightly more to the east. Main threat tonight is going to be wind if things hold together into the state.

Last night was southern Oklahoma's turn to get totally in on the downpours during this rainy spell, with some amounts over 4". From not being in the south, I only got .48" at my weather station, but it sent the total received for June to 4.45" and above the total June average for Stillwater, which is 4.32".

A healthy line of storms now making its way out of eastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico. If it holds together, it will be interesting to see how much rain it will have for Oklahoma later tonight and hopefully more than another quarter to half inch Venture brought up. Chance of precip tonight in Oklahoma City is 70%.

Graupel or soft hail at Raton Pass earlier. We had to skip Pike's Peak...

Yup here comes round number 361238123 from the TX PH.

Air is cooled here in most of OK, so this will be more of a colder rain than storms. Good stuff for drought!

that line started out in the mountains here in Denver this morning. There were even a couple of tornadoes IN the mountains......very weird. Several other brief tornadoes near Denver. Now its just turned into a great cold rain of another inch or so. Hope OK gets a real soaker. Its great to see the solid line going across SE CO and the OK and TEX panhandles where they need it so badly.

Good! "Ridge of death" stay away for as long as possible!

Venture - based on what we've seen so far, do you think this June could end up being like June of '07 when we had rain for 20+ days? ( I think it was '07).

{I'll always remember that year because we had so much rain a stray puppy I took in was able to dig a hole in the mud about 16" deep and escape from under my fence in a relatively small amount of time.}

It would be nice. I want to say that was tropical related though where remnants of an old tropical system just chilled over the state for most of the month.

Update on tonight. Squall line of heavy rain and storms from NW through SW OK. This is marking ESE now and will be in the Metro in a few hours. Ahead of that a NW to SE band of storms with heavy rain and small hail are moving ENE. So far doesn't appear anything like last night with large hail.

What parts of the metro got hail last night? I work overnight near Penn Square and didn't get any. No reports of hail on the home front in north Norman either.

You were lucky. :) We got pelted pretty good here in South Norman...from about the Weather Center east to past the Postal Center got hail up to 2" in diameter.

Storm moving into the Mustang area will have some heavy rain and small hail.

Man that storm up here in Tulsa a few days ago sure was something, That stormed popped quickly! During my chase in the Oologah/Talala area was pretty good saw a pretty decent set up that couldn't get going a lot. Honestly the storm in Osage/Pawnee counties had my attention more due to the way it was looking on Radar. That storm had quite the "classic" supercell structure going for a few. Was quite exciting and would've been a great area to chase (open land not much homes).

Can someone explain to me in Layman's terms why a storm that looks very strong and has been moving from the panhandle of Texas through western Oklahoma seems to stall out just west of the city then fire back up on the east side of the city and continue on through Tulsa, Missouri, Ark, etc? It seems like that has happened several times recently.

Look at the 90 day rain fall rate for Norman on the link below…..?
It’s interesting how much less rain the Norman area has had compared to other nearby areas of central Oklahoma….. We have missed out on a lot of opportunities.

Without looking at a specific example, it comes down to the atmosphere over a specific area. Saturday was a good example. Central OK baked for awhile, some parts more than others, and it allowed one storm to go crazy for a short time. Relatively mundane storms with little in the way of actual severe weather were around Central OK at the time but then that one storm found some decent juice and tossed out some big hail.

Storms live on unstable air - air with lots of warmth at or near the surface, and cooler air as you go up, inciting natural upward air movement. Over the last few days or so, the most unstable air has been in the western part of the state, while the central part of the state has been relatively more stable, thus muting their strength.

That's a ten-cent explanation that also goes to the famous "cap of doom" you hear these guys talk about a lot - if you have a pocket of warmer air just above a cooler layer, it inhibits that upward motion and "caps" storm development. It quite literally puts an atmospheric lid on a storm's ascent into the cooler upper atmosphere.

Think I got that mostly right :) All "batteries not included" and "Venture will correct all errors" notices apply LOL

If we get any moisture today will it be this evening or another overnight deal?

If we get any moisture today will it be this evening or another overnight deal?

Mostly wrap around stuff so it'll be later this evening if we get anything.

Storm Outlook...

Today
Outside of some wrap around stuff late tonight, should be a mostly quiet day for much of the state.

Tuesday 10th
Morning shower left over but otherwise dry.

Wednesday 11th
Northwest flow could bring some storms later in the day from NW OK through the rest of the state. GFS hints at a line of storms before the MCS along/west of I-35. We'll have to see how this evolves, but conditions could be favorable for all modes early on transitioning to the MCS with wind.

Thursday 12th
Weak trough will move through and much like these last few days, we could see storms fire up in the wake of an early morning MCS. All depends on how much recovery we have. Some severe possible.

Friday 13th
Tranquil day it appears.

Saturday 14th
Extremely unstable day on tap. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. LI's around -10. CAPE values at or above 4000 j/kg. 3km EHI values are very high across Central and Western OK. The thing that is odd is that GFS doesn't develop any precip at all. It has been hinting at this day for a few runs now, so that is something to keep in mind. Looking at the forecast sounding the CAP doesn't look terrible at all and all parameters are pretty much indicative of a day that could provide some higher end severe weather. The one big negative is the lack of much upper level forcing to kick things off. Also the lack of any well established dryline in the state (it is out in the PH still) or boundary will also hinder things to provide a focus for Saturday. So for now, just a day to keep an eye on but not to freak out about.

Sunday 15th
Take Saturday and moving it east about 75 miles. A little bit better dynamics and more instability but the cap is a little strong and more CIN to burn through. Dryline though does make a march into the state and gets through the western 1/3rd before retreating for the nice. Moisture is well established and extreme instability ahead of it. If something is able to go up it will likely be severe in an environment we are forecast to have. Now a few challenges. GFS has precip overnight from Saturday into Sunday morning which could fubar things. Any remaining cirrus blow off or other cloud cover can easily help keep the cap in place. Not much, if any, storm development is forecast so another we just need to watch.

From the SPC for today...this is going to be closer to the KS border.

...ks/ok this afternoon/evening...

An isolated severe weather threat may materialize this afternoon
from the vicinity of the surface low sewd along the occluded front.
Where breaks in the clouds can occur...the co-location of
boundary-layer dewpoints in the 50s to lower 60s and the midlevel
cold pool associated with the upper system will result in a corridor
of moderate afternoon instability. Vertical shear will remain
generally weak owing to the close proximity of the deep-layer low.
However...a rich source of vertical vorticity and cool
mid-tropospheric temperature profiles may support the risk for a
tornado or two and some hail.

For the first time in I couldn't tell you *how* long, I walked out on to my really-needs-to-be-mowed front yard, and found the soil so wet it was spongy and likely still too soggy to mow - think the wheels would likely sink in and just carve up the grass.

Like I said, it has been one long sweet while since I can remember having had this much rain over a sustained period. Wish I'd had a bucket or something out to have measured it.

It's an absolutely gorgeous day. I've had doors and windows open all day and the a/c hasn't tried to come on. The air smells wonderful, the birds are very happy, and I've seen some large eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies in the garden. A girl could get used to this.

Remember, you're still in Oklahoma. Enjoy it while you can and don't expect this to last very long. :)

I didn't include Monday the 16th in my outlook but the Euro hints that it could be a severe day as well.

Quite the party pooper now, aren't you? I most definitely enjoyed the beautiful weather. I've lived here all my life, I know how fleeting pretty weather can be in any season. ;)

The evening is even better!!!

The evening is even better!!!

The breeze is wonderful, though I was taken by surprise by a random pop-up shower on the turnpike near Edmond. It was pretty heavy there for a minute, then it was gone again lol.

I'm actually hoping for no rain tonight so I can get the yard mowed tomorrow. It's so shaggy.

Upgrade to Slight Risk for Western OK tomorrow.

...SOUTHERN THROUGH CNTRL PLAINS AND A SMALL PART OF THE NRN PLAINS
AND UPPER MS VALLEY...

STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL OVERSPREAD THIS REGION...MEANWHILE RICHER
MOISTURE WILL BEGIN RETURNING NWD THROUGH TX IN ASSOCIATION WITH
DEVELOPING LEE TROUGH AND AS INFLUENCE OF DOWNSTREAM UPPER LOW
CIRCULATION DECREASES. MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE MORE MODEST ACROSS
THE CNTRL PLAINS WITH DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE 50S EXPECTED. THESE
PROCESS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR CORRIDOR OF STRONG INSTABILITY TO
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE TX DRYLINE AND MODERATE INSTABILITY FARTHER
NORTH ACROSS THE CNTRL PLAINS. POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR A FEW STORMS
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE TX DRYLINE AS WELL AS ALONG SWD ADVANCING COLD
FRONT OVER THE CNTRL PLAINS. ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY DEVELOP OVER THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF CO IN ASSOCIATION WITH PROGRESSIVE IMPULSE. MUCH
OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE HIGH BASED WITH A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND
AND LARGE HAIL. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY CONSOLIDATE INTO AN MCS
OVERNIGHT AS THEY SPREAD EWD THROUGH THE CNTRL/SRN PLAINS SUPPORTED
BY AN INTENSIFYING LLJ.

Quite the party pooper now, aren't you? I most definitely enjoyed the beautiful weather. I've lived here all my life, I know how fleeting pretty weather can be in any season. ;)who knows though... this season has been weird and maybe it will be like the summer a year ago where we didn't really get hot.

The brief showers are sponsored by the Oklahoma Car Wash Owners Association.

Day 1 Expanded to include the Metro area...wind is main threat.

...WRN/CNTRL KS INTO NRN OK...
VERY STRONG HEATING WILL RESULT IN STEEP LOW TO MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATE
PROFILES WITH HIGH BASED STORMS INITIATING OVER ERN CO BY LATE
AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE OUTFLOW AND LIKELY MERGE INTO A
LINE BY THE TIME THEY REACH WRN KS AROUND 00Z. WITH TIME...THE LOW
LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE AND MODEL CONSENSUS IS FOR AN MCS TO
EVENTUALLY FORM...DRIVING SEWD INTO NRN AND PERHAPS CNTRL OK.
DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THE NOCTURNAL
ACTIVITY...ALTHOUGH HAIL IS ALSO LIKELY EARLIER IN THE DAY OVER KS.

SC & SE OK in the Day 2 Outlook


...S-CNTRL OK/N-CNTRL TX INTO WRN/SRN AR AND NE LA...

AN MCS IS EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING ACROSS PARTS OF SE KS INTO NRN/ERN
OK DURING THE MORNING. STEEP LAPSE RATES AND MODEST MIDLEVEL FLOW
MAY POSE A MARGINAL WIND THREAT WITH THIS EARLY CONVECTION.
HOWEVER...THE THREAT SHOULD INCREASE TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FEATURE
DURING THIS AFTERNOON.

BY AFTERNOON...A WEAK SHORTWAVE IMPULSE WILL BE EJECTING FROM THE
SRN ROCKIES INTO THE SRN PLAINS WITH MODEST NW MIDLEVEL FLOW
OVERSPREADING THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH.
THIS WILL FOCUS FORCING FOR ASCENT IN THE VICINITY OF THE E/SEWD
ADVANCING COLD FRONT...AND ALONG ANY OUTFLOW BOUNDARY GENERATED BY
ONGOING MCS OVER ERN OK. AHEAD OF THE FRONT/S OF MCS...STEEP LOW TO
MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE FORECAST BENEATH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING EWD
FROM THE ROCKIES INTO THE PLAINS. THIS WILL TRANSPORT EML ACROSS
CNTRL TX...NOSING INTO N-CNTRL TX. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST
CAPPING WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF BEING OVERCOME EAST OF THE I-35
CORRIDOR FROM S-CNTRL OK INTO N-CNTRL TX DURING THE AFTERNOON ON THE
PERIPHERY OF STRONGER MIDLEVEL WARMING. STRONG SFC HEATING WITH
HIGHS NEAR 90 F AND RICH GULF MOISTURE /DEW POINTS FROM MID 60S TO
NEAR 70 F/ BENEATH STEEP LAPSE RATES COULD RESULT IN MLCAPE VALUES
GREATER THAN 2500 J/KG. ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
MAY DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON NEAR THE COLD FRONT AND SPREAD EWD
TOWARD THE ARKLATEX INTO EARLY EVENING. LARGE HAIL...ESPECIALLY OVER
N TX WHERE BEST COMBO OF VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG
INSTABILITY WILL EXIST...AND STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.
THIS CONVECTION MAY TRY TO ORGANIZE INTO A LINE WITH EWD EXTENT.
BUT...THIS REMAINS UNCERTAIN AS MIDLEVEL FLOW GENERALLY WEAKENS
AFTER 00Z AND LLJ IS NOT FORECAST TO BE VERY STRONG. SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN EVOLUTION OF THE THREAT DOES EXIST...NAMELY IF ANY
MORNING CONVECTION OR THICK CLOUD COVER FROM MCS DEVELOPS ACROSS
THIS AREA...THEN SEVERE THREAT COULD BE DIMINISHED DURING THE
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS IS ENOUGH TO WARRANT A SLIGHT RISK.

Both NAM and GFS take the bulk of the MCS through NC OK, north of the OKC metro.

However, models have a difficult time predicting these. So just be prepared in OKC, regardless.

Channels 4, 5 and 9 all have our rain chances at 70-100% so we are getting moisture just not the bulk of it?

Slight Risk now covers most of the state except for extreme Eastern and extreme southern OK. HRRR & RAP seem to have the bulk of the MCS north of the metro, like Anon mentioned, but additional storms south of it that would come through the Metro.

...CNTRL/SRN PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...

EARLY-DAY TSTM DEVELOPMENT OVER WRN CO MAY BE INDICATIVE OF A WEAK
SUB-TROPICAL-BRANCH SHORT-WAVE TROUGH PROGRESSING INTO THE
FOUR-CORNERS REGION. THE INFLUENCE OF THIS FEATURE MAY BE
INSTRUMENTAL IN PROMOTING STORM DEVELOPMENT BY AFTERNOON WITHIN THE
POST-FRONTAL UPSLOPE REGIME OVER NERN CO...AS WELL AS ALONG THE COLD
FRONT AND DRYLINE OVER WRN KS. WARM-SECTOR FORECAST SOUNDINGS BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON SHOW A STEEP-LAPSE-RATE ENVIRONMENT WITH MLCAPE
VALUES OF 1500-2500 J/KG. LARGE T-TD SPREADS AND 30-35 KT OF
DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL SUPPORT HIGH-BASED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ALONG THE DRYLINE FROM WRN KS INTO WRN TX.

BY MID TO LATE EVENING...MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT MERGING
DRYLINE AND COLD-FRONTAL STORMS OVER WRN/CNTRL KS MAY RESULT IN
UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH INTO A FORWARD-PROPAGATING MCS THAT WOULD
ACCELERATE SEWD ACROSS PARTS OF OK. SHOULD THIS SCENARIO UNFOLD AS
FORECAST...A SWATH OF DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE MCS
TRACK.

New watch soon. At work so can't post it right now. I will be in the chat foot the evening.

70mph winds with leading edge. Two clusters should adjoin in KS and OK.

The storm had wound down and lost much of it strength once the rain finally started in east Stillwater. Not much nearby lightning, either. It maintained its strength better to the south. Beforehand, the gust front got up to 35 mph. Maybe the rain behind it will be a little heavier. Only .16, so far. However, Lake Carl Blackwell, around 9 miles to the west got over an inch before the storm subsided. By the time it got to a wu reporting station on the west edge of Stillwater, it was reduced to putting out .65.

Only severe report I've seen so far in Central OK is a 60 mph gust in Norman.

Enough, already. For the love of God. Someone turn on the 100 degree machine and rip the knob off, please...

Hate. this. crap.

PS: To the Norman city planners, thanks so much for the privilege of living on one of your fine seasonal lakes, better known as any street in West Norman when over 0.01" of rain falls. Your comprehensive solution of putting up barriers that say "Road Closed" is pure genius and we commuters/shallow inland sea dwellers salute you!

You could probably find a nice piece of desert land cheap somewhere to live on. I'd prefer the fish in my pond have plenty of dihydrogen monoxide to swim in.

I've already upgraded to the F-100 robotic fish that has a nuclear powered laser system to kill all mosquito larva. Puts off a large amount of radiation, but it keeps my pond free from mosquito and that keeps the bats away.

Nice little pickup last night:



Especially, if Mother Nature didn't short change you. Nine miles to the west of me, Blackwell Lake got nearly 1 1/2". But the storm started subsiding from there, so when it arrived all I got was .36". I suppose I'm not entitled to complaining much, since, so far, this month have had close to 5" and June isn't even half over.

Matter of fact, land in Hudspeth county Texas is going for about 200 bucks an acre. A glance at Google Earth and any particular news website will probably clear up why...
