Stacia Knight Weather Blog: Take Your Rain Gear Super Tuesday

As we wade through another day of enhanced fire danger, we continue to dream about rain. Those dreams might come true during the morning hours of Super Tuesday.

An incoming system will bring rain and storms across eastern Oklahoma as early as Monday night. Probabilities are higher that rain and storms will move in after midnight and affect our morning commute.

A lot of folks might be heading to the polls early and if you are, take your rain gear with you. There is a chance that a few storms could be strong & close to the severe threshold. The main threats will be damaging winds and some large hail.

Morning commutes on Tuesday will be impacted from this system. It’s hard to tell when this system will completely clear Green Country. It could be as early as the lunch hour or linger into the early afternoon. The sooner it moves out, the higher our chances become for seeing some sunshine in the afternoon.

Strong north winds will make it a cooler afternoon despite any sunshine that we might see.

Fire danger is enhanced again today so we are looking forward to Tuesday’s moisture. Humidity values are slightly higher today but will still not be enough to curb the threat. Strong winds will continue through the afternoon. Wind gusts should be around 20 to 25 miles per hour from the northwest.

Please be careful today and do not do any burning. Also watch out for anything that could cause sparks.
