March 2022 - General Weather Discussion

[SEMIweather]

Well above average temperatures through Saturday under downslope flow. Shortwave trough looks to eject in the Saturday Night to Sunday timeframe. With strong southwest flow aloft, this is a favorable setup for severe weather; however, given that it’s early March I wouldn’t be surprised to see the main threat occur just to the east of the Metro. Still something that’s worth keeping an eye on over the next several days. Shortwave looks to be accompanied by a fairly strong cold front that should lead to below average temperatures next week.

Fire danger increasing as we head toward the weekend. Ahead of the next storm system, Saturday will be the windiest day, but still mild.

Sunday afternoon looks like a solid shot at storm chances. The following week looks much cooler with highs near 50.

Winter's last stand? A weak storm swinging through before the weekend will give us a shot at some snow.

[Anonymous.]

Cold front moves into tomorrow and switches us to north winds. Then some snow moves in late night in a weak band from W to E across the state. Minimal impacts are expected, just the usual with bridges and overpasses etc.

Decent banding redevelopment over C OK may squeak out another inch. The wind makes this snow brutal.

Low in the teens tonight. Sharp rebound tomorrow into Sunday with returning south winds. Next week looks fantastic!

Next severe weather chances this week eastern OK on Monday and central/eastern OK on Thursday

Tomorrow 3-17 might be a bit of a sleeper day for Severe Weather. A lot of spin in the atmosphere. Just at a quick glance haven't had time to really dive in yet. Hopefully Anonymous will give his thoughts.

Nothing too crazy expected for OKC. A few severe storms near the RR is probable. Any slight shift in track could bring that chance closer into OKC, but as for now SPC as a Marginal risk for C OK with Hail as primary threat.

[kukblue1]

Latest HRRR is showing some nice looking storms from OKC and down I-35. Low pressure tracking right over south central Oklahoma. Lots of turning with height. However not sure if the moisture return is going to be good enough for something other than maybe a few hail storms.

[Anonymous.]

Track continues to shift around some every so slightly. Bringing OKC right on the edge of SPC's SLIGHT risk. Hail would be primary threat, 2% probability of a tornado associated with any discrete cells.

Severe Thunder Storm watch is out for C into SE OK.

[PoliSciGuy]

Significant hail in some of these storms moving across the metro. Roofers are gonna be busy.

[Anonymous.]

Saturday weather looks amazing with light winds out of the south, low 70s.

Sunday the obnoxious wind comes back ahead of next storm, which will bring rain and storms to majority of OK beginning Monday evening.

[Anonymous.]

Really needed rain chances go up tomorrow afternoon. Could see flash flood watches posted for E half of state.

[kukblue1]

Tornado risk is not zero for southern Oklahoma down by the Red River today Monday March 21st

[Anonymous.]

Latest HRRR showing solid 1-2" swaths for the E 2/3 of the state. Any severe chances will be this evening after a break in the early-afternoon rain. Potential for some clearing down into SW OK where some storms could get fired up and push east in a line.

Finally getting a good soaker today, just in time for the start of spring.

Hopefully this will knock down the fire danger for a while.

0.98" so far at our house near 9th & Bryant in Edmond (2:08 pm).

I just looked at our back yard on camera. Looks like Lake Robertson. That's near Hefner & Council.

Final batch of rain and storms is coming up from the SW now. Could see up to another inch from this.

High parameter tornado watch is out across C TX.

[Bunty]

Much of Oklahoma got at least an inch with Oklahoma City area probably the most as of 8:15 pm.

[Anonymous.]

Strong N winds sweeping across the state today on backside of the storm system. Luckily fire danger is decreased with the plentiful rainfall we just received.

Temperatures moderate heading into the EOW and the weekend looks beautiful.

Yeah... That little blue slot in South Central Oklahoma is a heartbreaker for me..... Got a lot of plants and a pond there that need some water and there was plenty on both sides to share...... 1/2" is nice but last year I had a pond going over both spillways at this point.

[BG918]

Next storm system moves in around the 30th. Right now looks similar to the one that just moved through so severe weather is likely. Then another, colder system around the 3rd that looks like a rain event with snow in CO/KS

Hang on people. Next Tuesday is looking pretty good for storms. The media hype train might be full swing sooner than later. That being said take a deep breath it's still a week away and will change every 6 hours between now and than.
