It took about a year, but Oklahoma hit its coldest weather on Sunday.
“Yesterday’s statewide average temperature of 29.5 degrees was the coldest day seen in Oklahoma since Feb. 17, 2024’s, 28.4 degrees,” wrote Oklahoma Mesonet State Climatologist Gary McManus in his Monday report.
“Today’s average temps are gonna be off the charts. Well, they’ll still be ON the charts, but really really low. ”
While northern Oklahoma got snow and cold weather on Sunday, the rest of the state can anticipate the same kind of weather starting early Thursday into early Friday. It will include snowfall south and east of I-44.
In his inimitable style, McManus described the remainder of this week’s cold weather forecast this way, “we’ll surely get a Braum’s DEF-CON alert map tomorrow. Yes, very exciting, and don’t call me Shirley. But remember, the forecast models giveth, and the forecast models don’t giveth.”
