Still Very Dry for Much of Oklahoma ...

Although much of the state received some short-term relief from the
drought in the last few weeks, about half the state has now gone two
weeks or more with less than one-tenth of an inch rainfall on a given
day.  Additionally, about one-quarter of the state has gone more than
50 days without significant rainfall.  Here is a list of the stations
