Nice snow banding developing into OKC metro.

80 degrees and a tornado yesterday, momentary blizzard today. Just sitting here waiting for the earthquake.

Venture, what are long range models suggesting? Whens our next chance at a decent severe weather setup?

I'm not venture, but Thursday into Friday. And maybe another Sunday.

Thurs/Fri looks like cool rain system. Potential winter precip with it pending on temperatures. Looks like next week we begin the climb back into the 80s.

Meanwhile, as of 9:15 am,4/14/14, light snow and 36 degrees in Stillwater. Some of it might make it to OKC, if not already.

Best thing this winter...ground temps...same goes for spring.

[Soonerman12]

ANON.. Thank you. So from what i'm seeing this next Sunday looks to be the best chance this week for a severe weather setup? Thursday and Friday may have a slight possibility but i'm thinking it'll likely be too cool for an organized severe weather threat. Do you concur? What's Sunday looking like to you for Severe weather outbreak. (I know it's still far out so data won't suggest much, but i'm just wondering what your thinking with current weather models)

Figures. We are in the mid 30s give or take right now with mostly all snow. In the winter we couldn't buy all snow unless we were below freezing most of the time. LOL

We got down to 32.7, for awhile. Up to 33.3, now. Mama bluebird is still sitting on the nest so I'm keeping my fingers things will go well.

Is the nest near a window? You could sneak up and put a heat lamp on the other side directing the heat towards the bird. It wouldn't be much, but it's something. I've done it before it seemed to work.

will this hard freeze warning overnight be enough to make me take off my outdoor hoses and cover them up with the insulated covers?

Nope. It's out away from the house. Nice idea, though.

Just make sure the hoses are drained.

[OkieHornet]

Just make sure the hoses are drained.

what if they're not? besides the obvious, but i'm just not sure if this freeze will be long enough and cold enough...

[LocoAko]

OKlahoma weather never ceases to amaze.

We'll, you asked. Use your best judgment.

In looking at the more urban areas, using wunderground, it generally wasn't a hard freeze with low temps staying around 30, or better. So plants that were protected should have fared okay.

We got down to 31.4 and only for awhile so I suspect we're good at my place.

Coldest I got in Edmond was down to 34 and none of my plants were protect and they were fine.

Still looks like cool rain chances Thursday eve.

Sunday looks like another good shot at some rain, possible garden variety thunderstorms. GFS indicating next week may be unsettled in terms of pop up storms/showers. Right now QPF projections just through Sunday are around half an inch to over an inch in NE OK. We need to get as much rain as possible. I feel like this summer could be a real burner.
