How we will score
Same rules as Norman, aimed at Oklahoma City once actuals land:
- Temperature: high and low within 2°F = hit (truth: KOKC / Will Rogers when the desk locks actuals).
- Rain (hard): PoP ≥50% vs measurable precip ≥0.01".
- Score: checks earned ÷ checks possible. Hard board 0/1/3/4; soft 5–7 separate.
- Until OKC actuals are logged, this board shows forecasts only — no invented leaderboard.

Posted Sep 24, 2026 · Updated Sep 26, 2026Notable blotter
Oct 27 OCDC jail blotter (Tuesday file) — 79 bookings countywide (38 with OKCPD as arresting agency). Largest primary-charge buckets: theft / burglary / robbery / retail, weapons, drugs, and assault / battery / domestic (many rows unclear from PDF wrap). Names withheld.
As of Wed Oct 28 morning, the live county PDF (status updated ~Oct 28 06:21 CT) covers Oct 27 00:00 – Oct 28 00:00. Oct 23–25 bookings are not in our counts (the live file skipped from the Oct 22 window to Oct 26). Ordinary arrests stay off this page as names. OKC has no Norman-style daily arrest PDF — we use the county jail blotter and link the live file. Full Crime desk → · Local murders →
