Dry Air Spreads Throughout State

Dew point temperatures are lower today for most of the state, especially
in souterhern Oklahoma, which has seen a rapid "drying" just this
afternoon.

In contrast, the western panhandle has "moistened" if you want to call it
that.  As of 2:00 pm, Kenton's dew point temperature is -3 F.  Almost
unbelievably, this is up more than 15 F from some of yesterday
afternoon's values.
