Who Turned Off the Faucet?! - Meteorologist Travis Meyer Checks His Crystal Ball for Signs of Rain

Who Turned Off the Faucet?! - Meteorologist Travis Meyer Checks His Crystal Ball for Signs of Rain It has been an interesting fall to say the least, as prospects for good moisture rallied growers to get their wheat planted early this year. Then suddenly it seems as though somebody shut the faucet off. Farm Director Ron Hays caught up with meteorologist Travis Meyer from Newson6 to find out what's going on with this weather Oklahomans have been experiencing. According to him, this has been a year of just getting by when it comes to moisture.


"We'd been in this transition from El Nino to maybe what we thought was going to be a monster La Nina," Meyer said, "which was going to add to the potential for maybe a horrible drought situation."


Somewhere in the mix of all this, Meyer says Mother Nature has chosen to essentially leave Oklahoma without any storm systems passing through. He's says though there is still some hope for moisture in the forecast. In what form, be it rain, sleet, snow or ice, remains to be a mystery.


"With the way the jet stream is and what we're looking forward to is these fast moving storms," Meyer said. "If we could just snag a few storms - and we're seeing a few hints there could be a system coming from California - if we could just get one or two of these and get some top soil moisture, I think that would save us and get us set up for spring."
