I-44 is underwater at 29th st.

I have to imagine this being pretty frustrating for farmers this year.

You have no idea and I just farm as a hobby on a small scale 40 acre farm... I had planted winter wheat to use a a green manure crop in a 1/2 acre berry patch I'm planting and it was ready to harvest by the time I got it tilled in last weekend.... So it turned into more of a golden manure crop for me.

We have a CSA share for a farm in Edmond and they are having a heck of a time getting stuff in the ground.

Up to 59.4" of rain at the OKC East Mesonet site in the last calendar year. Average over the past 15 years has been 36.6". Possibly even more impressive is Weatherford at 54.7" when they average less than 30" per year.

Wow! For reference tropical rainforest-type annual precipitation is 80" annually.

Adding to totals this AM in NW OKC. Pretty good thunderstorm rolling thru and looks like more diving in from the NW. Lots of lightening but so far no hail.

[Pete]

It is black as night right now.

I'm not sure I've ever seen it this dark during daylight hours.

[Pete]

[SEMIweather]

Judging by radar and spotter reports, pretty much the entire core looks to have gotten anywhere from marble to ping pong ball sized hail. That was a crazy storm.

[rezman]

I was out early this morning as it came rolling in and noticed the same thing. It was like night time.

Mesonet showing about 1" at the Yukon station, but the ol' Backyardonet showing just under 3"!

[okatty]

^I’d guess we had in that range in far NW OKC....pool us WAY up.

[BG918]

I've heard reports of lots of wind damage around Norman, tree limbs down everywhere

[d-usa]

Sounds like the damage in Deer Creek might have been a small spin-up tornado.

[OkiePoke]

I believe the 164th & Rockwell damage was due to a micro burst.

[d-usa]

This is what good old Facebook thinks:

[d-usa]

I wouldn’t be surprised. I left the house at 178th and May about 5 minutes prior and it looked like there were some low fast rotating clouds sticking below that storm.

[jn1780]

I was looking at the special topic tab on the nws site about late first 90 degree days. It may be late June early July before we hit 90. No 90 degrees forecast this week.

[okatty]

This morning feels more like Colorado than Okla! Fantastic!

Let it be known that 2019 will be the year of no summer.

Beautiful weather all week, Highs in the 80s, lows in 60s and even some upper 50s.

Low chance of rain on Wednesday with another front that will come through, but right now it does not look like precipitation with it will be too significant as we have dry air in place.

Rain and storm chances will be back later this week into the weekend with more NW flow. Much like the last two weeks, we will have chances at catching MCSes coming out of CO/KS/TX. At this time, it looks like flooding could be a concern this weekend.

Or the year of the ark.

I'm wondering if solar minimum does affect climate at least to some small degree. I did read something about how cosmic radiation can possibly increase cloud cover by around like 2% or something like that. When the sun is more active it actually pushes cosmic radiation away from Earth.

Besides Earth climate, kind of bad timing that NASA is planning a Moon and Mars push during a solar min because this same radiation decreases the amount of the time astronauts can spend in space so while we can probably still do a prolonged moon mission there is no way were doing Mars within the next 8-10 years.

Short-Range models bringing the small cluster of storms in S KS into OK overnight. Looks like it will make a run for C OK after midnight.
