  1. The heat index got up to 116 yesterday in the southernmost part of Oklahoma.
  2. Anchorage, AK set their all-time record high of 89°F yesterday, and looks to get into the mid-80s for the next few days as well. Most of Alaska has been a good bit warmer than normal so far this summer.
  3. Oklahoma City had its coldest January-June average temperature since 1993, and its fifth wettest such period on record.
  4. I've just seen a few sleet pellets and extremely wet snowflakes here in Norman. Right now no precipitation is falling.
  5. To me it looks like the HRRR is showing a weaker and more southerly precip shield.
  6. The OKC/Norman area got about 2" in January 2017. I was in NC at the time, but we got a similar amount of sleet from the same storm.
  7. If the seven day forecast for Raleigh verifies, they could have their first September since records began without a low in the 50s.
  8. Maybe one of these years Oklahoma City will have more than 2.1" of snow.
  9. I got measurable sleet 30 hours after 75-degree temperatures this week in Oklahoma. To be fair, we didn't have several days of 70s in a row, but still, it was in the 40s-60s most of the previous several days.
  10. It seems like it changed back over from sleet to freezing rain in Norman.
  11. It sleeted for about 5-10 minutes today. I guess that counts for something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  12. It seems like this storm will miss central Oklahoma completely. I wonder if this will be the second year there is no snow while classes are in session at OU. The storm would be a little before classes start anyway, but I would hope some snow would stick around.
  13. But I want snow and I'm fine with extreme cold.
  14. I wonder if this winter will wind up like 1969-70, with a ton of cold and not much snow.
  15. I'm missing out on the fun because I'm in Oklahoma now. It really sucks when Brownsville, TX gets snow before Norman, OK. We're like 20F colder in winter on average!
  16. The Bering and Chukchi Seas apparently have unprecedented levels of open water for this time of year. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/30112017/arctic-sea-ice-extent-record-chukchi-bering-sea-alaska-ocean?
  17. They look pretty close to average for central Oklahoma overall.
  18. After a dry start to March, we've had some nice rains the past few weeks. There was supposedly hail in Norman today, but I was in class at the time. It hit 91 in March but hasn't gotten above 84 yet this April.
  19. For those who can't find hotels because they are booked, you could look into nearby campgrounds. That's what my dad and I decided on doing.
  20. It's been really warm this month and some of the trees have started to bud and leaf. But I haven't seen many flowers on campus yet. I guess they're waiting for the last freeze.
  21. Well the Arctic sea ice extent is close to 3rd place now.
  22. It looks pretty warm here in Oklahoma. The average for this time of year is like 54/31.
  23. It's currently in the mid 40s and sunny here. If it's not going to snow, that's the kind of winter weather I prefer.
