Day 55: Now an Oklahoma Snow?
After several blog posts about Texas snow, it’s now Oklahoma’s turn. The image below is from the National Weather Service’s Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) and displays the probability of a point receiving at least 4″ of snow between 00 UTC Friday 26 February (6 PM CST Thursday 25 February) and 00 UTC Saturday 27 February (6 PM CST Friday 26 February). Notice how a significant swath of Oklahoma has a chance of seeing 4″ of snow Thursday into Friday!
And if you don’t trust the HPC, here is the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Norman, OK’s take on the matter.
I will be holding a map discussion tomorrow for scientists in the National Weather Center (particularly National Severe Storms Laboratory and Storm Prediction Center) so I’ll hopefully have more to say on this tomorrow. As for tonight, my attention was focused on the USA-Switzerland and Russia-Canada hockey games and so I didn’t have much time to prepare an in-depth discussion!
