We are back to above average for the month. Still 0.6°F cooler than February, but with every day this week being warmer than normal that should change in time.
If I lived in Norman I would 110% go storm chasing!

I don't have a car. I could go with other people probably but I need to get to know the other meteorology majors better. As I freshman I've only had one meteorology class so far.
44 with mist/drizzle. Not bad as it's so light. The last 3 days were forecasted to have heavy rain, but the last 2 days were dry by mid morning and today just had very light rain
Got to 51 this morning, the 9th day in the 50s this month. February had 11 so it's quite possible March will have less.
Only 1.9 below average for the month now. I doubt the next 4 days can raise it up to average but it will still be only slightly below average and not even top 50 coldest. Looks like the bulk of the cold missed us to the east and north. March has now tied January and has passed December so, while cooler than February, it will only Ben the 3rd coldest winter month.
Non stop rain for hours now. Tv off. Lights off. Sounds of water flowing through the gutter and down spout. Relaxing on couch with Wood stove fire lit. Cozy feeling actually.
Could get interesting tomorrow just to the north and west of here.

...Southern Plains to lower-mid MS Valley...
Models continue to indicate the widespread thunderstorms across the
southern Plains tonight should diminish in intensity and severe
threat Wednesday morning over east TX, east OK into southeast KS to
southwest MO. Midlevel impulses translating through the eastern
periphery of the closed low Wednesday morning and afternoon should
support renewed storm development/intensification from parts of
northeast TX through eastern OK to southeast KS along the first cold
front. Greater destabilization on the northern extent has resulted
in a little northward expansion of the Slight risk area. Although
strong shear vectors oriented nearly parallel to the cold front
suggest a linear storm mode, the strength of the bulk shear /50+ kt/
and moderate instability support embedded supercells. Thus, all
severe hazards will be possible, except farther north into northeast
KS where storms should remain elevated.
Meanwhile, the next in a series of midlevel shortwave troughs will
move toward the Ark-La-Tex region Wednesday evening and night, and
strong 500-mb 2-hour height falls of 60-90 meters are expected
across the Ark-La-Tex and eastern OK to the lower and mid MS Valley.
Additional storms will develop across east TX Wednesday afternoon
where the environment will be moderately unstable with strengthening
effective bulk shear resulting in organized storms producing all
severe hazards. A 50+ southerly low-level jet developing Wednesday
evening and shifting east after dark will increase the severe-
weather threat resulting in a risk of supercells and bowing
structures producing tornadoes (possibly strong), as well as large
hail and damaging winds.
Here come the garden floods for you. The Gauge will get a nice fill inside. :-) Saw a GIF on April precip for past 5 yrs and the Northeast has been dry each year. Could use a wet April for a change.
Lol, hopefully I won't have problems with flooding like the past two years. I don't have anything planted in the ground yet, but I may get started in about two weeks. I could have started sooner, but I haven't had much time lately.
