Febpril




Oh, YOU would have gone with Apruary? Well that's sort of vague because we're
talking April and February, but Apruary could also be April and January.

SCIENCE!

Yes, I'm that precise, and as I'm typing Burneyville just had a 72 mph wind gust,
so heck, it's severe storming right now for crying out loud!





But wait, back to our rigorous scientific study of combining month names in a lame
attempt at humor: Febpril it is!

Now remember, that's a WIND CHILL forecast, not the actual temperature. So the
freezing-feeling weather depicted in the top graphic is not where the actual
freeze is going to occur, but the freeze will occur nonetheless. So be sure to
bring in those tender plants and State Climatologists out of the elements, lest
they be damaged.



Back to the storms and showers...this rain is wanderful (sorry, running low on
o's), ain't it? That is one pretty radar pic above, and there'll be more where
that comes from over the next few days.



That's on top of what's already fallen, and it's vital that forecast in NW OK
comes to fruition because that remains a part of the state mired in that
long-term dry spell.





Most of the rain has fallen after the Tuesday 7 a.m. cutoff point to be
considered on the Drought Monitor, so our map saw negligible changes, so expect
some better views on next week's map.



Bring on the rain!
