February 2025 - General Weather Discussion

[SEMIweather]

I have a ticket to the thunder game tonight. Hope the road conditions improve by this evening.

Main roads are pretty much fine at the moment, side streets are still tricky.

Extremes as of 2 pm, 2/12, in the Texas weather. The wind chill index in the northwest Texas panhandle is -2 while the heat index at Brownsville is 97.

All of North Dakota is below zero.

of course North Dakota is over 100 miles closer to the northwest texas panhandle .. then the panhandle is to Brownsville ..

Active pattern continues with two more strong cold fronts moving through on Saturday and Tuesday. Brief warm-ups in between but those will be tempered by consistently strong winds. Appears to be the potential for more winter weather next week, exact details TBD.

Skies are clearing heading into sunset. Result will be Thursday morning temps near 10F.

[jompster]

Does moving here ten years ago count as new?

Then yes!

Which brings me to another question. How long does one have to be here to be considered an Oklahoman or am I forever branded as a northerner?

Forgive me - I wasn't trying to come across as rude in that reply lol. I would definitely say you're one of us by now. I think we're all starting to sit on the edge of our chairs hoping that an early Spring nabs us. I came out of work today and the cold wind hit my slacks and I heard my knees groan.

Spring will feel like a distant memory next week. Another Arctic front comes through Saturday with a chance of rain mostly E of I-35 then a stronger system arrives next Tuesday 2/18. That combined with another Arctic front will bring winter weather possibly heavy snow in some areas. The air behind the front could be the coldest all season. Luckily since it is late Feb we should warm up again fairly quickly by the following weekend.

[LakeEffect]

Cold.

That's it. That's the forecast.

[kukblue1]

And here we are again. Thursday 4 1/2 days out and local media is already starting too put out snow fall totals. We never learn do we. Oh course they say this could change. Yeah you think SMH

Something to remember. Cold air is dry air.

[gjl]

Ch 5 said 108 hours of below freezing temps.

[C_M_25]

I know it's literally the last 2 snapshots on the GFS, but it looks like an early spring pattern is trying to show up in early march. Dewpoints aren't great, but you're starting to see the possibility of some southwesterly flow again. Hopefully it holds! I'm ready for some warmer temps!

It's the dramatization of the weather by our local market! It really is crazy. It's all about click bait and views -- tune into my LATEST FORECAST as I'm eying disruptive winter weather headed our way!

[SEMIweather]

Snowfall amounts will likely be modest, but the strength of the cold snap is no joke. Wind chill values will probably be in the negative teens overnight Tuesday.

[Anonymous.]

Yes, extremely low windchills and some dry blowing snow. Meaningful snow accumulations look most likely across NE OK.

So just don't watch them, then. Easy.

[Anonymous.]

Maybe a brief period of moderate to heavy snow Saturday night with wrap-around action on the back of the low. Nothing significant except temporary reduced visibility.

[MagzOK]

I don't, but then I wasn't complaining either.

Some of us are interested in what to expect for the upcoming $&%#show because it disrupts our way of life. Oklahoma does not handle this stuff very well.

And the forecasts have been accurate as much as I wish it wasn't. I am expecting next Tuesday to be terrible.

I would rather be prepared also.

1-3 for the metro on Tuesday as of Saturday which it will change again.

[Bunty]

Winter storm watch in blue.

[kukblue1]

My forecast. 1-15 inches. There all my bases are covered. LOL I have seen anywhere from dusting to 1 inch to Morgan and his 2-4 with drifts. NWS is around 2 by the way but why listen too them when we can have the click bait going crazy.
