Much of Oklahoma has shared in the rainfall that has ranged from one to three inches since Sunday night. Northwestern Oklahoma and the Panhandle have been left out this time around.
As of 3 AM this morning- with rain showers still falling in parts of western and eastern Oklahoma- a couple of locations have topped three inches- Cookson and Idabel claim top honors with 3.73 and 3.29 inches respectively. There are two dozen locations that have hit the two inch rainfall mark spread across the state.
As for those left out- nothing in Kenton and Boise City- less than a tenth in Texas County and 19 hundredths in Woodward.
These rains are expected to be taken into account in our next Drought Monitor that will be released on Thursday morning. It;s not a drought buster- but it's a multi million dollar rain for the 2023 Oklahoma wheat crop and should help improve forage conditions- and in some of the areas where we got the best rainfall- put some water back into ponds.
The map above is a snapshot as of 3 AM central- but you can click here and see the real time image of the two day rainfall totals across Oklahoma from the Oklahoma Mesonet.
AND GOOD NEWS- there is another chance for rain Thursday PM into Friday.
Keep on Praying!
