MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... March 24, 2023 March 24, 2023 March 24, 2023 March 24, 2023 Unbelievable https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/rainrfc.24hr.jpg In a remarkable display of stubbornness (no, I didn't know that was how you spelled stubborness), Mother Nature ONCE AGAIN left the NW half of the state-- roughly to the north and west of I44--high and dry whilst the SE half of the state got a drenching. I haven't seen such an uncanny (English to Okie translation: "weird") pattern since God was handing out looks and brains and I got skipped over for both. And uncannily odd it is, with our 90-day moisture divide between the haves and have-nots continuing to grow. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/90day-rain-totals.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/del90day_rain.current.png https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/pct90day_rain.current.png It's actually worse than that shows because those departure and pct of normal maps are made each morning, and it has continued to rain since then. Heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud! https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/current-radar.png I don't know what else to say. No, seriously. I guess we'll just make do with some minor chances of rain over the next couple of days until we see better chances late next week. I'll give you two guesses where the heaviest totals look to be. https://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20230324/7day-rain-forecast.gif WRONG! Oh, you are correct...eastern Oklahoma. Now back to our regularly scheduled drought. Oh, final congrats to Goodwell in the central OK Panhandle, too. That 0.19 inches...(checks notes)...doubles your total over the past 30 days.
