The heat wins!!
Not sure where all this talk about the heat losing is coming from today ... looks
like it is dominating to me. Temperatures across the state are in the 90s and
100s, and in the western half where the drought still holds, those readings
either approached or exceeded their historical records.

Buffalo, awesome place and birthplace of very important people, had the state's
high temperature as of 4:05 pm at 110 degrees. That also eclipsed their previous
record for this date of 107 degrees, set back in 1998. In a familiar refrain,
similar heat was found generally west of I-35. Of the 120 Oklahoma Mesonet
stations, 54 had high temperatures of at least 100 degrees. Here are the top-15
highest temperatures for the day, at least as of 4:20 p.m. Still room to grow
there.

1 - Buffalo 110
2 - Freedom 108
3 - May Ranch 107
4 - Tipton 107
5 - Grandfield 107
6 - Arnett 107
7 - Camargo 107

Much of northwestern Oklahoma remains in exceptional to severe drought. While
there was some beneficial rains during the past 4-5 days, the improvements
will be diminished thanks to the dry air and heat we've had since.
The highest maximum temperature ever recorded in Oklahoma on June 13th is
112 degrees at Alva in 1917. Buffalo's 110 degrees comes in fourth.
