Gary McManus of the Oklahoma Climatological Survey writes about rain, a lack of rain and possible rain

Rains this the weekend provided 2-3 inches of moisture to the southeastern two-thirds of the state.

 There were several totals above 2 inches, and a couple of those weree above 3 inches.

Some totals were:

Sallisaw 3.45 inches of rain

Washington 2.15

Waurika 3.04

 Norman 2.11

Ada 2.65

 Spencer 2.08

McAlester 2.65

 Nowata 2.03

Okemah 2.46

 Wister 2.03

Centrahoma 2.33

McManus said:  And while this month is going to be remembered for its rain, the statewide average for the month will probably finish a tad below normal. As of today, that average is 3.88 inches, 0.08 inches below normal. However, that’s still the 39th wettest such period since 1921. Odd, right?

Well, that’s due to the variable nature of June’s precipitation totals.  For many of the years, the totals are either really high or really low.

The current normal is based on data from 1971-2000 as well, so that also influences the oddity of a high ranking despite a deficit.More rain to come?

Tropical Storm Alex is currently churning away in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to strengthen to Hurricane status in the near future.

After it makes landfall, it weakens into a Tropical Storm again then into a Tropical Depression. What it does after that is of particular concern for Oklahoma. If it moves up over the state, it could bring heavy rainfall with it.

Some forecast models do exactly that, bringing the remnants of the storm over central or eastern Oklahoma.

Thanks for sharing this good article. Very interesting ideas! (as always, btw)

Whats up this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

You really make it appear so easy together with your presentation however I in finding this topic to be actually one thing which I believe I might never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking ahead on your next publish, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
