MO/KS/AR/OK 2023-2024 Winter Discussion
lookingnorth replied to JoMo's topic in Central/Western States
Yeah, we had a couple good weeks in January, and a decent snow in February, but overall this winter was unimpressive. At least we weren't setting records for winter warmth like they were further north. -

Doesn't feel much like winter today, with much of Oklahoma getting into the upper 80s, and the southern part of the state having some areas in the 90s. -
The mountains do block radar coverage, but it looks decent around Lake Tahoe, assuming this map is correct.

Mid to Long Range Discussion ~ 2024
lookingnorth replied to buckeyefan1's topic in Southeastern States
I find the CPC is usually pretty good on their 6-10 day and 8-14 day outlooks. Getting accurate forecasts beyond 14 days out is just extremely hard. -
Southeast Sanitarium - Winter 23/24 Edition
lookingnorth replied to eyewall's topic in Southeastern States
I believe it's happened twice before. 1990-91 and 1991-92 each only had a trace of snow. Same with 1948-49 and 1949-50. But the third time in over 120 years of records is still pretty bad. -
It looks like the Antarctic sea ice extent gap is down to 187,000 km^2.

Only got an inch of snow in Norman that was almost all gone by the next morning. -
Yeah California has gotten a lot of rain and storms lately. I saw lightning flying into San Diego before Christmas, which is somewhat unusual for them.

We got barely any snow in the Norman/OKC area from the cold blast, and the coming couple weeks don't look that interesting either. I hope we see something good in late February/early March. -

I got some surprise flurries today at least. -
It looks like December 2023 had the fourth greatest positive temperature anomaly of any month in the UAH dataset, with the three hotter months being this past September-November. https://www.nsstc.uah.edu/climate/

The MJO doesn't look too favorable for cold and snow in the coming couple weeks. -

Here are the current CPC forecast maps for DJF, as a reference. -
There was a major El Nino in the late 1870s, that's probably the explanation for the spike in 1877 September temperature.

Texas/Oklahoma 2023 Obs and Discussion
lookingnorth replied to Ed, snow and hurricane fan's topic in Central/Western States
It's up to 102°F in OKC and 103°F in Norman, the hottest September temperatures here since 2012, and the hottest I have personally experienced as I was living in North Carolina back in 2012.
