Rainfall Totals Pile Up- Except in Exceptional Drought Areas of Oklahoma- The Latest Maps

Mon, 20 May 2013 04:12:37 CDT

Rainfall Totals Pile Up- Except in Exceptional Drought Areas of Oklahoma- The Latest Maps Rainfall totals continue to pile up in most of Oklahoma- except for those locations that have remained stubbornly in the exceptional drought category. The three or four far southwestern counties have received little rainfall since this past Wednesday (May 15, 2013) and that is also the case for the Oklahoma Panhandle counties. The map above is of rainfall since this past Wednesday morning. Rainfall amounts in southeastern Oklahoma are primarily from storms this past Wednesday and Thursday- while you can see a couple of bands of rainfall that have come in over the just concluded stormy weekend- this in the map below.


The bottom graphic is last week's Drought Monitor for Oklahoma- and you will see some of southeastern Oklahoma along the Red River that has hung onto a moderate drought designation got heavy rains the latter part of this past week- and may be the next part of the state to lose the drought tag- for at least a while.


Unfortunately- hail and damaging tornadoes accompanied the rain shown in this map- especially the rainfall on Sunday afternoon- evening. One of the hard hit rural communities was Carney- and a report by KOTV, the News on 6 indicates "Cindee Sheets, of Hallett, said mail fell in her yard from Carney, where an earlier tornado left damage in its path. Carney and Hallett are about 55 miles apart."


The indications are that at least one more round of severe weather could be in the cards for central and northeastern Oklahoma later on Monday. Development of the Monday storms could happen after 2 PM and continue into the evening hours.
