Updated data gives glimpse at what Oklahoma's weather will be like in December

Newest outlook shows wetter weather on the way

Just want to pass along *** brand new update as we go into the month of December here, some new data coming into the weather center. So this is still lining up to pair up with what our winter outlook was suggesting is that, uh, we're expected to see *** wetter than normal winter. Now, there has been at least some sign of *** bit of *** wetter weather pattern coming in for the month of December here for all of us here highlighted in green. That would indicate *** good chance for us being wetter than normal. How much wetter are we looking at here? Not *** whole lot, about *** quarter to *** half inch more moisture than normal. But then again, December in Oklahoma is not really all that wet of *** month for us. So definitely we're gonna keep *** close eye on that one. Otherwise, from *** temperature standpoint still looks like near normal warm. If they're near normal temperatures, I should be saying above average temperature *** little bit milder than normal as you go out across the west and temperatures running just *** little bit cooler than normal across Texas, we'll keep *** close eye on it, but it definitely looks like *** strong El Nino developing has been ongoing for *** while and we will be feeling the effects of that as we head into the month of December, we'll watch it closely.
