2025 was a year of weather extremes for Oklahoma and western north Texas: record-breaking cold and heat to record rainfall and rapid drought onset to record number of June tornadoes (OK).

We're looking at a potentially very unusual overnight wildfire environment. We've received a lot of questions about the best ways to receive alerts for nearby fires. A short thread of options available:

[Oklahoma Mesonet @okmesonet]

If you think that first wave of dust was bad...you ain't seen nothing yet. Or you won't be seeing nothing when the second wave gets here! This special satellite product shows significant dust (yellow) that's been lofted into the atmosphere. #okwx #okmesonet

[Damon Lane @KOCOdamonlane]

Oklahoma City just hit 74mph!

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

141 PM - Per Norman emergency management: Due to wildfire, residents along and east of 108th Street to 132nd Street and north of Post Oak Road to HWY 9, EVACUATE to Little Axe Recreation Center or Cross Point Church #okwx

Here we go. Weather models and services could be impacted by the firing of NWS/NOAA meteorologists that started today. Effective immediately and until further notice, the National Weather Service (NWS) is indefinitely suspending weather balloon launches at Kotzebue, Alaska

Now that the snow is melting, how about a look back at the bigger weather events of 2024? From January snow to November tornadoes, here's a look back https://t.co/LrRdqQV6hu #okwx #texomawx

@SkyPixWeather Congratulations, Roger! It’s been a humbling experience to work in the same building as a legend. Enjoy retirement!

[Jennifer Thompson @jayhawk2003]

Strong tornadoes and then heavy rainfall and surge. I can’t imagine. What a mess. 🙁 Thoughts and prayers for those affected and the meteorologists working this stressful event.

Here’s a radar snapshot of Milton approaching Sarasota.

[NWS Miami @NWSMiami]

Starting to receive several reports of street flooding across coastal communities in southwestern Florida.

Given #Milton's fast forward speed, the increase in water levels may be sudden.

DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH SALTWATER!

[City of Sarasota @CityofSarasota]

This video is a very helpful visual of a 10-15 foot storm surge.

Reminder: Evacuations orders are in place in for Level A, B and C in Sarasota County. You are urged to follow these orders and leave now.
