Hopefully the winds don't add to the 'fun'.
The moisture now out Southwest and that cold front and Lows will slide thru the next few days and make for a lot of excited air.
Good luck!
That’s the weather report I have as well. I have almost quit listening to the local weather reporters and their ‘sky is falling’ except when the sky really did fall before Christmas with the blizzard.
Don’t know what models they use, but it doesn’t look to be the ones from the National Storms Prediction Center here in Norman.

Hi PKM,
Could you keep me up on the latest. We will be flying home to Edmond tomorrow night around 6pm (moved there from Denver in Nov. of 2007, just in time for the ice storm that shut us down for about 3 days). Bringing my 75 y.o. brother for the first time to OKC. Told him to dress warm, but I would love to be kept up on any new weather updates. Thanks!! TC
If you want on
or off this list
Freepmail me.
I'm always in awe of the weather here in Oklahoma...but I don't wish for harm and hardship.
I guess if it was always 65 degrees and blue skies..it would be boring to be a weatherman. : )
Stay warm and safe!
FRegards,
That Christmas storm was something else. I watched it snow down in Texas pretty heavily and saw webcams from OKC that was amazing.
I was stunned there wasn’t a FR thread on it (at least I don’t remember one) at the time because it was historical.
