Days and Days of Rain Challenge the Drought- the Latest Graphics

Significant rainfall is headed for Oklahoma, based on the five day precipitation map released by the National Weather Service. If the rainfall model holds- a lot of Oklahoma can expect one to two inches of rain- including the western half of the state that was largely missed over this past weekend.
The graphic above plots the rainfall between now and this coming Saturday- and could be just what the doctor ordered for both winter wheat and winter canola- as well as for permanent pasture and rangeland. The rainfall of this past weekend was greatest in eastern Oklahoma, although it was a spotty precipitation delivery model, with some Mesonet stations getting tenths of an inch while the next Mesonet location a few miles away scored well over an inch of rain.
A good example of that was seen in Central Oklahoma- Guthrie recorded 1.54 inches of rain over this past weekend- while just a few miles away at Lake Carl Blackwell- the rain gauge showed just .07 inches of rainfall. The rainfall map that stretches back over this past weekend can be seen below.
