8. Still 5:00 pm Tuesday. Examine the following map which shows the 5 cm soil temperatures, under native sod (blue) and under bare soil (red). The Mesonet air temperature freezing line is still in pink. Some recent Local Storm Reports (LSRs) from Norman are given below.
- Based on the soil temperatures, do you think much ice is sticking to the ground in northwestern Oklahoma?
- Focus on the temperature, wind and rainfall panels of the Buffalo and Alva meteograms. What clues do they give you about whether ice is accumulating on the ground? On elevated structures?
