At least 15 Mesonet sites in Oklahoma recorded freezing temperatures early Monday morning.
Fall is definitely here and winter isn’t far off.
” This has been quite a cold snap,” wrote Oklahoma Climatologist Gary McManus in his Monday newsletter.
“Yes, COLD. Yesterday was the first day we failed to reach a high in at least the 70s in the state since April 26. Hollis and Kenton got close at 69 degrees.”
As for the prospects of rain in the state, that’s another matter.
“We’re building on yet another month-long (plus) dry spell, which
is very bad news for our drought-plagued state,” continued McManus.
“Our flash drought is now somewhere close to 87 days (unofficial official starting date of July 21).”
He wrote that the best prospects are next week.
