Another major hurricane is set to hit Florida and the Gulf Coast within a couple of weeks, just after Helene hit, leaving millions without power and devastation on its path.
State Climatologist Gary McManus says this one looks nasty, “With Milton forecast to hit the western coast of Florida
broadsides late on Wednesday or early Thursday, possibly still a major hurricane after intensifying over the next couple of days.”
So, what does this mean for Oklahoma? McManus says not much, “We are still dominated by this mid-fall Dome of Death over the western half of the U.S.; the same Dome of Death that is helping keep Milton headed east. And apparently this
dome still ain’t budging anytime soon.”
This week Oklahoma will see above-normal temperatures with below-normal precipitation for the next two weeks or so. McManus says there is some hope that we might see something break through possible 10+ days out, but McManus says that is still in ‘fantasy cast’ territory for now.
