Wondering what’s with the wacky February weather? It might not be so unusual after all. Wild February weather does occur in Oklahoma, according to KOCO 5 meteorologist Michael Armstrong. Fourteen years ago, a blizzard dumped almost 12 inches of snow on Oklahoma City on the first day of February, which was followed by an arctic blast that dropped temperatures to minus 31 in some areas of the state. Two years later, northwestern Oklahoma had 18 inches of snow in February. An arctic blast in February 2021 sent temperatures dipping into the negatives, with a low of minus 21 reported. On Feb. 26, 2023, the state saw a record-breaking outbreak of tornados. Generally, Oklahoma sees lows around 26 degrees at the beginning of February, with a high of about 51. Of course, it has been higher than these temps this week. A temperature of almost 87 just before 1 p.m. on Monday in Alva was just another wacky weather fact to add to February’s history.
