Rainfall Chances To Tease Oklahoma Farmers and Ranchers Much of This Week
Tue, 25 Sep 2012 05:42:43 CDT
Several weak disturbances will be rolling across our region- which provides a chance of precipitation across northwestern Oklahoma- as well as along the northern tier of Oklahoma counties. Some rainfall amounts are possible- an inch or less- in central and southwestern Oklahoma as well. The graphic above is a look at possible rainfall patterns today through Saturday.
The wildcard right now is a lady by the name of Miriam. Meterologist Alan Crone with the News on 6 in Tulsa offers this description of what he is seeing at this point. Alan says "We continue to watch the data regarding the weekend and the possibility of remnant moisture from Hurricane Mariam moving into the area.
"This pacific basin hurricane is positioned about 400 miles off the Baja this morning and will move northwest for the next day before turning northeast during the next 3 days. Some model data is suggesting that moisture from this system may become absorbed into the southern stream and move across the central and southern plains sometime Friday into the weekend. The EURO has been very bullish on this probability while the GFS has kept this left over precip to our southwest. As I wrote yesterday, the confidence for the weekend forecast remains low at best, and the actual forecast, both temperatures and precipitation chances will more than likely change." Alan sees a better chance for rain from this lady in southern Oklahoma and north Texas compared to the northern half of the state. But, like he indicated- things will likely change.
