I was too optimistic today, thinking we could hit 40 in OKC. Of course, regardless of the actual temperature, you knew it wasn’t even going to feel that warm thanks to those strong north winds. I had to fill up the car on the way to work, and that was the coldest I had felt in quite sometime. It reminded me of the year I worked in Albany, NY….and part of the reason I don’t work there now! We hit 36 for a high, but the wind chill was in the teens most of the day.
It will be even colder tonight as lows should drop well into the teens in most areas. I won’t be surprised if we have a few single digit lows in the north. Thankfully, the winds won’t be nearly strong tonight. A surface ridge is building in from the west and that should keep winds below 10mph in most places. Still, make sure you bundle up for Sunday. There is some much warmer weather on the way, you can check that out on the 7-day forecast.
If you google “sleet vs snow vs freezing rain”, the first link you’ll see is to a blog I did back in December on the topic. I know it’s generated some site traffic, probably from people far from Oklahoma just wanting a bit more info on the topic. It got me wondering what other search terms people are using to find our blog. Here’s the list from yesterday,….
Who’s Rena Corban and why does someone want to know about Brandon Beyer’s fiancee? I got a good laugh out of some of these. Have a great Sunday,
