Monday Forecast

Monday Forecast: The day will start cold with temps near 30. A few clouds will be around, but it will be partly cloudy overall with a lot of sun shine. Temps will rise in the afternoon into the mid-upper 50s. It will also be windy with winds at 20-25mph with gusts up to 35mph. As night falls, a mostly clear sky can be expected. This will allow temps to fall rapidly. Temps will be in the mid-upper 30s by midnight.

Cold Front Approaching

Rain showers will begin to overspread the area beginning between 1-2. A few rumbles of thunder are possible in this line of showers.

Friday Forecast

Friday Forecast: Rain showers will impact the morning through early-mid afternoon. Given some instability a few rumbles of thunder seem possible. Temps will start the day decent in the mid 50s. Temps will rise rapidly ahead of a cold front to near 70. After the cold front passes early-mid afternoon, temps will fall rapidly. Winds during the day will be 10-15mph with gusts up to 25-30mph. Rain will end late afternoon to early evening with skies gradually clearing. These clearing skies will allow for the temp to drop. Temps will likely drop to near 40 by midnight Friday night. Temps in the low-mid 30s will allow for some frost to develop. Our golf match for Saturday morning may be delayed because of frost.

Thursday Forecast

I finally have time to do a forecast!!

Thursday: The day will start rather warm with a temp near 50. Clouds will be around for the morning and most of the afternoon before partial clearing late afternoon- early evening.  Temps will rise nicely in the afternoon into the upper 70s to possibly near 80 (79). Winds will be at 12-18mph with gusts as high as 30mph. As evening settles in, partial clearing is possible. Temps will hold in the low-mid 60s for the evening hours. The rain/t'storms will hold off until Friday morning-afternoon.

Monday Forecast

Monday: Temps will only rise a few degrees from this morning today to a high near 65. A mostly-partly sky will dominate the sky today with predominate low level clouds around. Winds will be gusty at 25-33mph with gusts near 50mph. Overnight, a few clouds will be around with temps falling rapidly into the mid to upper 40s.

A weekend in review: A deadly tornado outbreak took place Saturday evening with at least 5 confirmed fatalities. A tornado also went by my campus of Oklahoma University. I am so excited to go next year. Over 130 tornadoes were reported. I will have the exact number a little later. If I have time, I will have a breakdown of what happened and what the mechanics were.

Wednesday Forecast

Wednesday: The day will start cold with temps near 30. A freeze watch is in effect right now. I wouldn't be surprised if we are upgraded to a freeze warning sometime later today. Skies will be partly cloudy in the morning. As the day progresses a few low clouds will hang on, but overall it will be mostly sunny. The temp will rise in the afternoon and peak near 54. Winds will also be calmer at 10-15mph with an occasional gust near 20mph. As night falls, a few low clouds will hang around with temps falling into the mid-upper 30s. Given humidity values in the mid 30%s  and some wind, a fire threat will exist, however, it will be much lower than Monday and Tuesday.

Update to Tuesday's Forecast

The only thing I want to change is the temp. Today's high is going to struggle to get into the low 50s. It is going to be chilly so plan accordingly.

Tuesday Forecast

Tuesday: We will see a taste of winter for the next 3 mornings. Temps tomorrow morning will be near freezing at 33. We will see temps in the upper 20s come Wednesday morning and possibly Thursday morning. If you have any sensitive plants, be sure to cover them by Wednesday morning and Thursday morning. The atmosphere will be dry along with the ground, add in wind gusts near 35mph and you have an elevated fire threat for tomorrow.  The skies will start clear, but some low clouds will increase through the day from the north. Highs will only be in the mid 50s. Winds will also be gusty at 15-20mph with gusts as high as 35 mph. The evening will be partly-mostly clouds with temps in the upper 30s. Temps by Wednesday morning will be in the upper 20s!!

Monday Forecast

Monday: A few showers are possible Monday morning, otherwise skies will start the day cloudy with temps in the low-mid 40s. Some partial clearing will occur in the early afternoon, but the afternoon will have partly-mostly cloudy skies. Temps in the afternoon will rise into the mid 60s. Winds will be gusty in the afternoon at 20-25mph with gusts as high as 45 to even 50mph. With relative humidity dropping into the middle 30s, dew points dropping into the 30s, and strong winds, an elevated fire danger seems likely tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if a fire weather watch was issued tomorrow afternoon. The clouds will allow for the dew point to stay above critical fire danger levels (clouds help moisten the atmosphere). As night falls, skies will clear with the exception of a few high clouds. Temps will be in the mid 40s during the evening hours.

Mushroom Update: Dad and I found the largest mushroom so far this year today. It was as round as a pop can and about a half inch taller. All in all, we found 94 yellows today with over half being taller than 3".  Not too bad of a find.

Saturday Forecast

Saturday: Saturday will start cool with temps in the mid 30s. These temps and light winds will allow for some frost to develop. Clear skies will dominate the morning and the afternoon. Temps will shoot up in the afternoon into the mid-upper 60s. Winds will be fairly light at 5-10 mph with an occasional gust near 20mph. As night falls, clouds will increase. Rain is possible late Saturday night. Less than .1" is expected at the moment. Temps will be in the mid 40s during the evening hours.

Monday Forecast

Monday: After a morning low of 51 skies stay mostly sunny with a high in the low 70s. Winds will be 15-20mph with gusts near 35mph. Overnight will see clouds increasing from the north. A stray thunderstorm is possible late tonight. Temps will be in the mid 50s. There is a marginal chance for severe weather tonight with the main threat being hail. Tomorrow will also see a marginal severe weather threat. I will update if there is a change to the severe weather threat this evening.

Mushroom Update: After finding 120 yellows yesterday, our total has increased to 320. I forgot to update other finds earlier in the week. Morel season is in full stride right now. If you like to hunt them, get out and find them. The upcoming week looks nice.
