Rainfall Amounts Reduced From Earlier Hopes
Wed, 09 Jan 2013 05:39:39 CST
Weather forecasts and rainfall models have scaled back the amounts of rain possible for much of Oklahoma as of Wednesday morning. The graphic above shows that much of the state will be counting the amount of rainfall received in the tenths of an inch, with limited rainfall expected to be the case in most locations north of Interstate 40. The southeastern corner of the state should still see rainfall amounts over an inch of rain- perhaps two inches or so- but that few locations outside of that corner of the state will see anywhere close to as much as an inch of precipitation.
Drizzle and fog and light rain will be the rule today- heavier rainfall could still roll in from Texas later in the afternoon and Wednesday evening as this weather system lifts north from old Mexico.
Regarding this storm system- Alan Crone with the News on 6 in Tulsa writes in his Wednesday morning blog- "Our main upper level system is located well south of the state this morning. Consequently, only scattered showers will be possible this morning through midday before higher rain chances approach the area this afternoon and tonight. Some locations may remain dry until late this afternoon. High temperatures will move into the mid-50s along with gusty northeast winds in the 10 to 25 mph range. The main upper level low appears to be slowing down slightly this morning but should pick up movement by this evening and clear the area tomorrow midday to early afternoon. This means our rain chances will be highest tonight through midday Thursday. Rainfall amounts across northern OK will be relatively light with .50 to near 1 inch in some spots. Higher totals will be common across the Red River Valley and across the state of Texas."
