She be weird yesterday…
Coming back from my eye appointment yesterday afternoon in Lawton, I saw a number of small, medium, and large cells moving west to east. Rather than a contiguous line of cells, they were…broken…with gaps between them (unusual in itself).
Even more so was the rain pattern…
From left to right, you see a large cell, a medium cell, a small cell, and a supercell on the far right. Each one was dumping rain, but notice the gaps between them! And we drove into a fifth cell that rained for maybe a mile. Going further south, I saw two more small cells, probably 10-15 miles apart, merrily raining with the sun shining between them…
Then the whole ‘line’ turned ESE, and a hour later, turned back to the WSW, backing up on us from the East… Strange… To put it mildly.
And as usual, it pretty much split around Tiny Town. We got a few spritz of rain, and a bunch of lighting, including one that hit either a tree or a house just down the street.
By 2000, the whole mess turned again, and was going ENE… And supposed to trail through until 2300. Sigh…
Enough with the weird stuff already!!!
Proof that the weather is being controlled by someone or by our own government.
and they’re drunk driving it.
Pretty good tech to manage that. Probably satellite upgrade of HAARP tech. Or something from Area 51. Or (fill in favorite conspiracy). 😉
Hey Old NFO,
I have one answer for you…..Its Texas…I give you grief when your weather comes to Georgia and its drunk in my front yard and for y’all to come and retrieve it, LOL
“OOOOOOOOOKlahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain….”
We had heavy clouds all day, and the rain spitters just spittered out when they hit the loop around town. Again. Ditto this morning. Meanwhile, down south where they really do not want the rain, they are up to their earlobes in moisture.
Texas weather, she be weird. (I call it Sting weather: as in his song, “Heavy Cloud but No Rain.”)
We get patterns like that all the time, BUT we’re surrounded by mountains which break up the patterns & create new ones. Why it’s happening in wide open spaces..? It is a puzzlement.
On the plus side you aren’t breaking your back, sitting on a poorly designed seat, in the back of a metal tube, being tossed around.
Are there large bodies of water, or numerous smaller bodies but densely packed, in the area?
Or, steep terrain upwind?
John/Steve- LOL…
Bob- Yeah, yeah… ;-0
Boats- Ironically, not much ‘surface’ wind yesterday.
TXRed- LOL, I gotta remember that!
Rev- That’s what had me going too!
WSF- True!!!
R- Nope and nope. Which is really odd. I know what you’re talking about, though.
i call them popcorn storms, not natural. this week they moved east to west with a “tail” trailing out like they were experiencing wind shear. in va. things only move east to west in the summer during a hurricane. this year we have winds out of the east often. i watched the weather closely for 50 years, this isn’t natural.
