East Oklahoma will flood, central and western Oklahoma will canyon up under lack of moisture.

Between you and kuk, I’m not sure who in this thread deserves the Oscar more.

My backyard has canyons all over it. It is bad. The recovery Hefner had over July is now almost gone.

[pw405]

Depends on where you live. Are you in the Metro?

Lol, my bad!!... I meant to include that. Yes, NW OKC on the south side of Lake Hefner.

Finally getting my distant thunder again. With some luck it might sprinkle. I bet it's pouring down rain 10 or so miles to the south where there is a severe thunderstorm warning. I suppose there could be further development soon.

Sounds like your lawn mower is leaving ruts.

Nope. These are in areas with minimal grass, due to no sunlight going on the side of my house.

[Bunty]

It looks like a large part of the eastern half of Oklahoma is having another night of heavy rain.

[chssooner]

As usual, OKC gets screwed. Just sucks. We are dying here for rain, and keep being 30 or 40 miles from getting game-changing rain. Alas, our reservoirs will keep draining.

Quiet week ahead with highs in the 80’s and lower humidity. No real good rain chances showing up until the first weekend of October when another active pattern looks to set up.

I am thankful that we didn’t get that severe weather. I want nothing to do with 3 inch hail.

September 2023 seems to have the potential to be one of the ten hottest Septembers in OKC history. The current ten hottest are as follows:

1) 1931 - 93.5/70.9
2) 1998 - 92.9/69.5
3) 1939 - 93.6/66.9
4) 1911 - 90.8/69.2
5) 1978 - 90.7/68.7
6) 1954 - 93.1/64.9
7) 2019 - 88.8/68.8
8) 1933 - 88.6/68.5
9) 1947 - 89.9/66.4
10) 1921 - 88.5/67.6

Checking back in on my first post, we are almost certainly going to fall short of the top ten, but if the current forecast holds, we should finish with an average high of around 88.5 and an average low of around 65.0, which would be good for 19th place.

Oklahoma's reservoirs are doing just fine... https://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/map/

As always, rain would be nice, but it's not anything out of the ordinary...

That is an awesome timelapse. But I wouldn't call it bizarre like the article suggests, in fact the opposite - a classic overshooting top on a supercell.

You knew what you were going to see but you clicked anyway. You have been had.

90+ highs forecast all the way through October 3rd.

Give me my fall!!!

[kukblue1]

Starting around Oct 4th let the fun begin. Storms possible severe. Rollercoaster of Temps. Some cool days some hot days. October is going to be very up and down as it looks now.

[FighttheGoodFight]

Looks like the next 8 to 14 days is above average temps. Fall, please!

I'm enjoying the extended pool season

Not really cooler but wetter weather is coming at the end of next week into the following week. Forecasted totals through 10/13:

[SEMIweather]

Still have my eye out for the potential of a higher-end severe weather event whenever the ridge breaks down at some point in the first half of October. Not a guarantee by any means, but this is the type of pattern that tends to give us our occasional fall severe weather events.

Yep looks like October is going to be a crazy month. It usually is anyway but could be very active with storms and temperature swings

Not just above average, but way above average.

+10-15 degrees every day for the next week. This is ridiculous.

According to Morgan a storm is a brewing https://x.com/MikeMorganKFOR/status/...750592033?s=20

Could see SPC outlining some risks in the back part of the 4-8 day outlooks in the next couple days. Obviously things are still very far out, but I would peg E OK for any severe hotspot.
