FRIDAY'S FOLLY

So here we are at the unofficial start of summer with the arrival of Memorial Day weekend, but perhaps you’re not quite ready for the hazy, hot and humid stuff and you just didn’t get enough winter... well head south!

High up in the Andes mountains of South America there is snow and plenty of it! Winter is just beginning! Check out the beautiful pictures from Las Lenas, a resort in Argentina… (I’m crying a little that I can’t get a day on those slopes). According to their snow report LAS LENAS, they already have a base depth of 158 inches at the top and 121” at mid-mountain. Ok, enough dreaming, back to home…

We received anywhere from a ¼” to an inch of rain today and this has helped bring rainfall totals for the month even closer to average. We are presently running about a half an inch to an inch shy. This should not be too hard to make up by June 1st.

Yet another wave, cycling around an upper level storm system, is putting down more rain on the Texas panhandle. This complex is moving to the North East an will weaken by morning, though a stray outflow boundary may be a focal point across NE OK tomorrow for a few afternoon t-storms. We’ll be muggy and mild over the course of the holiday weekend with a slow rise in high temps. A few showers and storms will be scattered about in the afternoons, firing off with the heat of the day, though don’t let them spoil your plans. Most will be short lived.

We’re watching a developing system which had promised to cool us down and dry us out by the end of the upcoming week, though the cool-down is now looking less and less likely. There’s still plenty of time to work on that forecast, so for the time being…

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!
