I watched a few weather casts on TV yesterday and I don't think anyone predicted these OKC storms this morning. Picked up 1/2" of rain. Mike Morgan was predicting a significant straight line wind event across the northern part of the state for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
Wow, loudest thunderclap I've ever heard... My ears are ringing!
The rain from LHP/Grand to Paycom HQ from 7:30-8:00 has been unreal
The Mesonet is always looking for volunteers to donate access to a small portion of their land for a station, they can't just go in and put one. And there are a bunch of requirements of the site that must be met. So perhaps nobody else in Cleveland County that has sizable land wants to have one on their property?
Yeah, I suspect they have a harder time finding volunteers than you would think, which is why when they had to decommission the OKC North site once The Half started to be built out, the replacement station ended up all the way out on Bob Funk's Express Ranches a few miles to the north of Yukon.
South OKC missed out again.
WOW, a dramatic big heat surge is on for Wednesday. 108 for OKC, 109 for Stillwater, 111 for Altus. The record-breaking Texas heat wave is going to make it here. I think I'll have to see and feel it to believe it.
It's weird, I keep hitting refresh on NWS site and it shows the OKC temperature at 2:53 to be 83. That's down from 86 an hour previously. Yet, they are sticking to their forecasted high of 96. Seems the lingering cloud cover is keeping the temperatures down and the consistent breeze is limiting the impact of the humidity.
I realize it could start baking at 4 pm. or 5 pm. and eventually get up to the forecasted high, but it's looking less likely as the day goes on.
The latest Mesoscale Discussion from the SPC has me keeping at least half an eye on whether this evening's MCS could skirt the far northern portions of the Metro. Tulsa Metro unfortunately looks to be under the gun for a significant wind threat once again.

New convection outlook out brings the risks closer in toward C OK. However, current radar trend and forecast models show storms just barely missing OKC proper.
This MCS will end up going well north of the Metro. It might have just been better to keep the risk areas where they originally were, lol. Gotta love the weather.
Yea funny how that worked out. The original OK/KS border track was spot-on.
Probably going to end up just a few degrees shy of an all-time record high for June today (current record is 107). At least the humidity will be lower than it has been. :')
