Rain Shows Up- Bessie and Erick Get an Inch!
Thu, 10 Jan 2013 06:01:44 CST
Rainfall totals across Oklahoma show that virtually everyone in the statement got at least a sprinkle, with much of north central, central and western Oklahoma getting three to six tenths of an inch of rain. A large amount of southeastern Oklahoma got the most rain from this system that tracked up from old Mexico across eastern Oklahoma before swinging to the northwest during the evening hours on Wednesday. Rainfall amounts from one inch to an inch and half were common- with Broken Bow apparently the winner in the rain gauge race- picking up just over an inch and a half of rainfall.
There were at least two pockets in southwestern-west central Oklahoma that also jumped above the inch mark. The Bessie and Butler Mesonet stations both claimed just over an inch of rain in the west central part of the state, while Hollis and Erick both got more than an inch of rain as well.
The graphic above shows the rainfall totals through 5:30 this morning across Oklahoma. With low evaporation rates at this time of year- this ssytem is not a drought buster- but for those locations that got from a half inch on up- it's a positive for pastures as well as winter canola and winter wheat.
