First Six Months of 1999: Warm and Very Wet
Mild winter temperatures helped make the first six months of 1999
somewhat warmer than normal, but the real story of the period was
the excessive precipitation in northern Oklahoma.
According to preliminary data, all three northern tier climate divisions
( http://www.mesonet.org/ocs/climatediv.gif )
recorded precipitation amounts which placed January-June 1999 in the
top five wettest such periods since record-keeping began in 1895.
Two tables with the gory details are attached to today's Ticker.
Today's Action
Mother Nature isn't letting up on northern Oklahoma just because she's
teeing off on the proverbial "back nine". Today wind gusts exceeding
50 mph have been observed at Copan (55 and 52 mph), Foraker (51, 50),
Medford (*71*, 59, 58), Newkirk (51, 66), Red Rock (53) and Vinita (55).
Heavy rainfall has also kicked off the second half of the year in
northern Oklahoma. At the risk of exposing Ticker readers to too
many tables in one sitting, here are some rainfall totals since
midnight:
Newkirk 2.06 in
Blackwell 1.67 in
Medford 1.39 in
Skiatook 1.36 in
Wynona 1.34 in
Claremore 1.33 in
Copan 1.33 in
Foraker 1.31 in
Nowata 1.08 in
