Had the opportunity to talk about weather radar and tornado debris signatures with Jonathan Conder at KOCO:
My guess is because the amount of liquid water is very low, it's not triggering a higher threat level.
A reminder that freezing drizzle events are some of the most impactful winter weather we have in Oklahoma.
They are not the most intuitive because of the concept of supercooled water droplets and are not easy to see the impacts when compared to other winter weather. Be safe out there this morning!
What a game last night! Boomer! #Sooners
I'm excited to announce that I've been recently promoted to Lead Meteorologist at the NWS Norman WFO. I am thrilled that I'll continue to work with the excellent people at the WFO while serving our area with the best weather information possible!

Last night's weather balloon launch through a layer of dense cirrus was the catalyst for this question.
If the frost point was plotted, it'd be equal to the temperature within cirrus clouds. Instead, there is separation between the temperature and dew point.
Random thought: Why don't we usually plot the frost point on soundings? The frost point is higher than the dew point and allows us to see saturation with respect to ice for phenomena like cirrus clouds (and I'm sure it has other utilities in operational meteorology!).
We often say “a degree or two will make a difference” when it comes to winter weather.
This afternoon is perfect example with additional rainfall and temperatures in most locations above 32.0 °F. If we were ~2 to 3 °F colder, this second round would be very impactful!
Early morning balloon launches Friday through Monday means some extra preparations today...

Thankful for the great weather for the weather balloon launch earlier this evening--can't complain about 60s °F on Thanksgiving Day! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
