What will spring look like in Oklahoma?

OVER THE PLACE. EASY TO SEE THAT THE NEXT 10 DAYS. ABIGL:AI IF ONLY WE CAN COPY AND PASTE TODAY’S FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 90 DAYS. WHAT ARE YOU PREDICTING? IT’S OUR BUSIEST TIME OF YE.AR DAMON: IT IS. AND THIS IS THE OUTLOOK I GET THE MOST QUESTIONS ABOUT. LET’S JUMP INTO IT. MARCH, YES IT IS WARM RIGHT NOW. BUT SPRING BREAK, TEMPERATURESW. ARE LIKELY GOING TO BE BELOW AVERAGE. THE VERY END OF MARCH, WE LLWI SEE A CLIMATE OF TEMPERATURES. ONE TO START, ONE TO FINISH, BUT IN BETWEEN IS GOING TO BE VERY COOL. AND THIS BECSEAUF THAT COOL DOWN THE OUR TORNADO OUTLOOK FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH APPEARS TO BE BELOW AVERAGE. WE ONLY AVERAGE ABOUT FOUR TORNADOES IN THE MONTHF O MARCH. WE WILL WATCH IT CLOSELY FOR THE VERY END OF MARCH. AS OF RIG NHTOW, MARCH DOESN’T APPEAR TO BE A MONTH OF SEVERE WEATHER. THERE’S NOT A LOT OF DATA THAT SAYS WE’RE GOING TO BE REALLY WARM OR REALLY COOL. WE’RE PRETTY MUCH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF WHAT WE SHOULD BE. IT IS A TYPICAL APRIL FOR TEMPERATURES. RIGHT NOW, IT DOES APPEARHAT WHEN IT COMES TO SEVERE WEATHER, IT IS A NORMAL APRIL 4, TALKING ABOUT 12 TORNADOES ON AVERAGE. RIGHT NOW, THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE. AS WE GO INTO MAY, NO SIGNS OF AN ELYAR SUMMER, COOLER THAN NORMAL FOR THE MONTH OF MAY. THAT DOES NOT MEAN COLD. THAT JUST MEANS TEMPERATURES ARE MORE SO IN THE 70’S AND GOING INTO THE 80’S. BUT THE MONTH OF MAY IS ALWAYS THE PEAK OF OUR TORNADO SEASON DAN WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH IT CLOSELY. THAT COOLER WEATHER IS BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES, MORE STORMS IN THE FORECAST. EXPECTING THAT WILL BE ABOVE AVERAGE FOR CENTRAL AND WESTERN OKLAHO,MA TYPICALLY AVERAGE 24 TORNADOES FOR THE MONTH OF MAY, AND THE NORMAL AS YOU GO INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. AND HAIL, HAIL IS ALWAYS A THREAT WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM. GIVEN JUSTOW H ROWDY, LAST NOVEMBER OR LAST SPRING WAS FOR NORMAN, I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW WE’RE CERTAINLY ON HIGH ALERT FOR ANY HAILSTORM. WITH LA NIÑA STILL IN PLACE, WE TYPICALLY SEE IN ABOVE AVERAGE HAIL SEASON RIGHT HERE IN OKLAHOMA SO WE’RE GOING TO BE TALKING A LOT ABOUT HAIL FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA AS WE GO INTO THE SPRING SEONAS HERE. SO LET’S BREAK DOWN JUST WHAT WER’E GOING TO BE DEALING WITH FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS AND WILL IT BE ENOUGH TO END THE DROP? WE NEED A LOT OF RAIN TO END THE DROUGHT, MARCH BELOW AVERAGE WITHHE T RAINFALL, A BALL ABOVE AVERAGE WITH THE RAINFALL. THAT’S GOOD. EVEN THE MONTH OF MAY SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE WITH THE RAINFALL. BUT WE NEED TO BE WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TO END OUR DROUGHT. WE MAY PUT A PRETTY BIG DENTN I THE DROUGHT, BUT MORE THAN LIKELY IT WON’T BE ENOUGH TO END THE DRUG COMPLETELY, WHICH MEANS WE’LL BE TALKING MORE ABOUT A HOT AND DRY SUMMER. WE’LL WATCH
