Color on the rain map!

Yeah, maybe not so fast there, Noah. Don't start gathering the animals just yet. Send the lumber back. However, there are some nice colors on that map that we just haven't seen in awhile. And darned if some places didn't go and get over an inch of rain...both in the rain gauges and the radar-indicated amounts. Kudos to the Jay Mesonet site for their 1.66 inches. Unfortunately, most of the state went without significant moisture, but it's a start. And our stats for November look a little better. We're no longer on pace for the driest November on record, at least not statewide.

Some areas will break that record, especially across southeastern Oklahoma. But again, it's a start. These maps will look marginally better when they update tomorrow.

Our next hope comes next week with another front and a bout with more cold air. No snowstorms showing up at this time, but maybe some moisture again.

Call it a pattern change, call it a return to the seasonable weather we're supposed to be in, but it looks like next week might be mostly cool. It'd be wrong to say we're done with the 60s and 70s for the rest of the year, though. We tried to do that earlier this month and we ended up with record temperatures.
At any rate, we'll take the moisture next week as well.
It's a start.
