At times it has been called the transition month. We transition from sometimes warm temperatures to hotter ones. What shall it be this year?

I’m hoping for 60’s for lows and 80’s for highs with 1-2” of rain every week.

If the Extended Euro is correct, MAY could be a very wet month for the state as a whole

If I lived in OK, we would take April 15 - May 20 off, travel and hope my house is still there when I return! :lol:

18z GFS is very wet, has a very slow moving upper low moving across the state , bringing rounds of heavy rain
total QPF next 11 days
Anytime a model shows a slow moving upper low, it does raise an eyebrow or too

Yeah, I think the 18z GFS has lost its mind.
