Texoma Weather Lab Expands Weather Coverage With New Cameras

Just in time for a multi-day tornado outbreak, Meteorologist Austin Bowling has increased Texoma Weather Lab's coverage across southwest Oklahoma with the addition of three new weather cameras. The cameras will help Bowling with weather coverage for 18 counties in southwest Oklahoma.

Late last year, Texoma Weather Lab launched its campaign to establish the largest weather camera system in southwest Oklahoma. Texoma Weather Lab's first weather camera was placed in Walters on top of the Walters Public Library. This week, Bowling announced that three new weather cameras were added for increased coverage through Texoma Weather Lab.

Texoma Weather Lab added a new weather camera in Geronimo, Hobart, and Pauls Valley.

Texoma Weather Lab added to its weather camera system by establishing cameras in Geronimo, Hobart, and Pauls Valley. For Hobart and Pauls Valley, these are the first weather cameras ever placed in Garvin and Kiowa counties.

Once the cameras are live, Bowling will get a live look at current weather in the area, and those who have the Texoma Weather Lab app will also be able to get a live view through the cameras.

Texoma Weather Lab plans to add more weather cameras and stations across southwest Oklahoma.

Bowling said more weather cameras and stations are planned to placed throughout southwest Oklahoma for enhanced coverage through Texoma Weather Lab. Weather cameras are set to be erected in Altus, Frederick, Snyder, Duncan, Elgin and Pumpkin Center.

Texoma Weather Lab will also establish weather stations in Hollis, Mangum, Anadarko, Chickasha, and Waurika. Lawton is set to get two weather stations, including a flood gage at Cache Creek. The weather stations will be equipped with cameras and equipment that will measure atmospheric conditions. The flood gage at Cache Creek in Lawton will allow Bowling to monitor flooding conditions in the area during periods of heavy rain.
