When it comes to rainfall or the lack of it, Oklahoma is a case of extremes…..
Eleven inches in the past few months in the southeast part of the state to only one-quarter of an inch in the Panhandle.
It certainly has the attention of Oklahoma Climatologist Gary McManus.
“But if you’re looking for the last good rain in parts of the Oklahoma Panhandle, you have to go back to Nov. 20, when Hooker had a whopping 0.28 inches of rain and Eva one-upped them with 0.32 inches. Boise City snuck in ahead of them with 0.26 inches on Nov. 23, but you’re seeing the problem here,” he wrote this week in his Oklahoma Mesonet update.
Adding to the disappointment is how the Panhandle is where some possible severe weather could start this weekend. The rainfall forecast for the next 5 days shows no accumulation in the Panhandle.
