Rainfall Update

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN!



You were warned! We actually got it right this time as most of the state received much needed and beneficial rainfall! Check out some of these rainfall totals the past 7 days from the Oklahoma Mesonet:

Tulsa International Airport got 2.54" of rain officially. We are down by 9.19" for the year. That's still a good improvement from where we were at the beginning of October. Willburton was the big winner racking in a whopping 7.18"!

Hope you enjoyed these recent rains, because it looks like we may stay dry in the extended forecast. Here's the latest outlooks from the Climate Prediction Center:

A weak frontal boundary moves through late this week but looks like there will not be any moisture to interact with it. Models have been giving us some mixed signals on a system moving in next week, so confidence remains extremely low as far as rain chances go. Temperatures are looking great this weekend, so that's something to be happy about!
