June 1, 1999 through August 29, 1999
Climate Division Total Departure Pct Normal
Panhandle 7.86" +0.14" 102 %
North Central 13.23" +3.92" 142 %
Northeast 11.70" +1.33" 113 %
West Central 7.54" -0.76" 91 %

South Central 7.85" -1.03" 88 %
Southeast 8.55" -2.03" 81 %
Statewide 9.40" +0.19" 102 %

However, look at precipitation figures since July 1st:

July 1, 1999 through August 29, 1999
Climate Division Total Departure Pct Normal
Panhandle 3.43" -1.26" 73 %
