Climate Battles

Yes, it really is October. No, It doesn't feel like October. Yes, It was very warm this past weekend. No, this is not normal. Yes, this is Oklahoma.

My friends, We are in a climate battle. Summer and even spring to some extent want to stick around, but old man winter also is ready to make an appearance.  Check out these highs yesterday from the Oklahoma Mesonet:

Yeah, It sure felt hot. It also seemed like we were all going to blow away. Check out yesterdays maximum wind gusts also from the Oklahoma Mesonet:

Don't you just love living in Oklahoma??

Today, we have a cold front moving through the state. You can watch the temperatures drop as it moves through by clicking here: Current Temperatures In Oklahoma

That cold front will help us cool off some. A reinforcing shot of cold air comes in on Thursday. Highs the rest of this week will be more fall-like in the lower 70s and upper 60s. Tulsa's normal high this time of year is right around 70.

Last weekend summer won the battle. This week fall will win the battle. It appears old man winter may be coming to join the fight this weekend. Check out what the GFS is predicting for lows Saturday Morning(This is NOT a forecast):

BRRRRR!!!! Just the thought of upper 30s for lows after seeing 80s yesterday... Oklahoma is the land of crazy.

My forecast? I think some locations on the far northeastern corner of the state MAY reach the upper 30s. Notice we are still 5 days away from this so it could go either way. That's why you check back for updates on my social media profiles I have listed below. Have a great week!
