General Weather Discussion - June 2014

With the heat turning up the next 2 days, doesn't look like it will last though. At least not in a constant fashion. Looking at the forecast there will still be plenty of storm chances to help break it all up.

Not seeing triple digits any time soon. 95 would be the hottest, if lucky. Things will cool down in the middle of next week before July 4th.

No "Ridge of Death" yet.

Might see triple digits in parts of the state after the first week of July. However, moisture content in the air is still pretty high so that helps to keep it under control. Of course the draw back is the excessive heat index we'll have to deal with.

Uncle Slayton and PluPan, you can stop your whining now...

I'll take two days

That's all.

Showers and storms should develop from SW to NE late this afternoon into the evening across NW OK. Eventually the development will move south and east overnight and into tomorrow.

PDS severe thunderstorm watch issued for Chicago area and surrounding.

Showers really dying out over W OK. Looks like they may refire along cool front later today into tonight. The front has already passed C OK - so rain chances are low again. Models handled this front terribly with exception over NE and IA.

Does that have anything to do with the fact that we're really more typically dealing with heat ridges of doom and a more summerlike pattern now that we're in July, as opposed to the more springlike scenario this front introduced?

Yea it is beginning to lean that way. Looks like we have a small ridge of death shaping up for next week - no 100+, but mid to upper 90s creeping in.

GFS keeping hope for rain tonight over southern half of OK - then tries to bring a wave from W OK to S OK tomorrow eve. And one final blow on Independence day over main body of state.

Awesome rains for the TX panhandle right now.

Looks like rain should stay well south of I-40 most of the day. Some may try to sneak north of it in the western half of OK. Will just have to watch radar for outflow waves sparking new showers and such.

I sure hope it dumps rain on Carter County all day.... My pond is still about 10' low and I've never been this low, this late in the year, during this entire drought..... Has really made me nervous about getting through the summer without a fish kill.

Doesn't look like a July thread has been started yet.

Are we looking at the "ridge of death" moving into Oklahoma soon?

Without offending the weather-preference-fragile, I hope so. Today is a great start. The decking material one step away from my pool is measuring 125 degrees F in full sun.
