Winter months are two for two with major storms, will we go three for three or is it on to severe weather season? Probably both the way it is going. LOL

Here is an EARLY outlook for what is in the models right now. Recent snowfall/ice will likely impact high temps in most areas the next few days, so this might bleed into the first couple days of Feb.

Monday Feb 1 Late Evening - Slight chance for a shower (maybe mixed with snow) or two along the northern tier of counties. Temps will be mostly in the 30s across the state with some 40s south.

Feb 3 into 4th - Wave of moisture moving up from the SW. Looks like most of OK could skate by dry, except for far western OK and the Southern sections as well. Temps mostly in the 40s...getting into the 50s by next weekend.

Feb 9th - Begins what appears to be a pretty active week in weather. Light rain possible across most of the western half of the state early. Chances go up in the evening where some areas of southern OK could see a half inch of rain. Low in the upper 40s, high in the mid 50s.

Feb 10th - Overnight moderate to heavy rain increases across the state. A lot of areas could see well over a half inch to an inch of rain. Temps will be well above freezing, so no wintery precip expected now. Surface low will swing into Northern TX by evening bringing very heavy rain into most of the state. Amounts could easily be over an inch for evening rain totals in SC and SE OK into C OK. Temps steady near 50.

Feb 11th - Heavy rain begins to push out to the east and north. Some heavy amounts still expected in northern and Eastern OK. By evening should be down to just light rain. Instability may be enough for a couple storms with the precip this day. Low around 50 high in the upper 50s.

Feb 12th - Light rain still possible across the eastern 2/3rds of the state, heavier amounts east. By afternoon maybe some light rain scattered about as the next system moves into TX. Low in the 40s high in the low 50s.

Feb 13th - Chances for light rain continue as more heavy rain hits Texas. Should be ending though by evening and setup for a dry second half to the weekend. Temps in the 40s.

Beyond the 15th - Models don't go this far yet, but a major system will be moving into the four corners region on the 15th. This should put it in OK around the 16th or 17th if it holds together.

Total precip for the 10th - 12th time period. GFS can get crazy with precip amounts later on in the forecast period, but the thing to take away is that we can probably expect some pretty heavy amounts during this period regardless.

I have heard February will be like December, but that's from Accuweather. Watching all these services is like having fifteen different watches.

After slogging about Norman for an hour or two today with more trips yet to make and a huge limb to saw up for an elderly neighbor, as much as I love the cold, I'm about to call 'calf rope' on winter.

Need to watch the Thursday system carefully - but right now the NAM and GFS models both depict a cold rain (35ish) in OKC with any snow or ice staying north/northwest of the metro.

Sunday afternoon into Monday morning is starting to look like the next major/widespread winter storm. I'm going to go ahead and dub it the "Super Bowl Sunday Storm". Current GFS dumps a lot of snow over much of Oklahoma, but it's already hinting at some warm air aloft, so I wouldn't be surprised if we have another band of icy mix somewhere over/near central Oklahoma.

The reason I like winter vs summer is that you can layer up and stay warm during winter, but you can only take so much off during the summer before getting arrested.

So everything between now and the 11th is pretty tame. Some snow tonight out west, but not world ending. This is going by the 00Z GFS tonight.

12th - Light to moderate amounts of snow possible this day. Ranging from 1-3 inches across the state.

16th - Some possible moderate snow here. Evening accumulations roughly 1-3" across the state, with higher amounts Central and South Central up to 5" possible.

That's about it. Storm track seems to go farther south towards the middle of the month. Indications also for the SE US storm season to get going too.

Some accumulating snow for the area appears to be likely coming up. Higher chances out west, but we may get some here on Monday. Right now, it doesn't look like anything bad...maybe 1-3" the way it appears right now. GFS progs some heavy precip early monday, but temps are going to be too warm it appears to be completely snow.

This is *NOT* anything to get excited about yet.

My bad for missing this!

Long term forecasts are a general guide on want to look forward to. These are the CPC forecasts coming up: Climate Prediction Center - Seasonal Color Maps (http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/multi_season/13_seasonal_outlooks/color/churchill.php)

It does appear temps will be a bit below normal during Spring, while precip should be near average. Does this imply more severe weather or at least just more unsettle weather? Typically coming off of a strong El Nino, we will see a wetter spring. Our last strong El Nino was in the 1997-1998 season, and we did see a fairly active severe weather season. For 98-99 though we were in a moderate La Nina. The other year that may jump out is 2003, and going into that year we had a moderate El Nino.

So what does this all mean? Not really anything. LOL We do typically have more moisture in the region, so if all the other 4000 factors come into play, we could have a more active storm season than usual. I also like to fall back on, weather is based around a law of averages. Things will balance at at one point...down years in severe weather or a colder summer, will always be offset at some point.

As tired as I am of all the cold weather, snow, ice, ice daming, ice covered truck and such it would be interesting to break the record for most snowfall in one season. In the Jan. weather discussion I posted that the record for OKC is 25.2. With the 12-13" we got in Dec. and the 6" we got with the last system we stand a pretty decent chance of breaking that. Lot of winter left.

Then again like I said I'm really ready for spring. The dafodils are about to bloom in our yard....it'd be ashamed to seem em get clobered by more snow.

I hope its an interesting spring........I'm sooooooo ready for a good thunderstorm.

I think back to those winters up north, with a good deal of snow and such...but the spring. If you are all about a green lawn, you better be worshiping this weather. This is helping put moisture back in the ground better than any heavy rain could.

We have about 5-6 inches to go to break the record I think, so plenty of time to make that up. It is kinda like that year with the tropical system over OK...when you are gong to break records - what was it...23 days of nonstop rain?...might as well make it big.

Thanks for the reply. Read it on my phone last night but didn't much feel like logging on--it's much slower than a computer!

I agree that there are many variables. Especially when you consider the fact that if 99 was a La Nina year and we had that horrible tornado, you never know.

I don't know if my memory is fading but I just don't remember very many active storm seasons the past few years and I'm hoping this advanced outlook will be an indicator of a great season--not tornado wise but just storm wise!

So basically here is the gist. We are going to have a fairly narrow window where we will see moderate to heavy snow. The amounts are not expected to be massive, but winds will be there this time. Models have been slowing the system down some, so that's allowing the timing to work out with the colder air getting further south. Like most systems, this isn't even on shore yet, so onces weather balloons are able to get readings, we'll see models get a better handle on things. Below are the upper air forecast soundings and the 6 hour precip accumulation maps. Please keep in mind that most areas in SC and SE OK will be all rain, so these are not 100% snow fall totals.

GFS...

Central OK is looking for a general 2-4" accumulation with this, but surface temps will be just above freezing. However, there is no layer of warm air above the surface (at least currently pointed out) that could raise havoc with precip types.

NAM...

Is a bit more aggressive with precip amounts in certain areas. It is also slightly colder.

I meant to mention all the benefits of the moisture during the winter months. The fire season shouldn't be nearly as bad.....(if we have one at all) as it was last March and April. You know the floks in MWC and Choctaw have got to be thankful for that. I'll take a good snow over a firestorm anyday.

Funny how things change here from year to year. Last year we had tornadoes in the metro on Feb 10th, then the fires in April. Gotta love (or hate) Oklahoma for it's variety.

However if the snow keeps falling, and the ground stays white like it looks like it could for another week or two with some models calling for another good snow on Thursday Meteogram Generator (http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/image_loader.phtml?site=kokc) it's going to make it tough on the early blooming plants and even toughter to lay down some pre-emergent. I'm fully expecting weeds when the snow finally melts. Heck I still need to get the leaves outta the flower beds so the bulbs....which are just days from blooming look decent.

Really wonder what the spring storm season will be like....with all the soil moisture we shouldn't be as dependent on the gulf to get things going when/if it ever warms up.

You are right, lol! Brain fart on my part. I prefer to sweat myself. I came from a much more humid climate than here in OKC, so to me, the summers are quite pleasant and lower in humidity.
