Gap filler


Just when you thought it was safe to put away the umbrellas (and the weather
radios), Mother Nature delivered another nice squall line across the state to
help fill in some of those rain gaps from last weekend's storm. As feared, south
central Oklahoma had the heaviest widespread rains, exacerbating the flooding
problems in that area of the state.



Last night's rainfall brought our 5-day total up to an inch or above for virtually
the entire state...just a few stragglers in the Panhandle and far western OK are
left.



And furthermore, and so on, and so forth, we ain't done yet! Looks like SW OK
gets another dose tonight and tomorrow morning, with other parts of the state
having lesser chances. Amounts should remain light for the most part, however.






We then look towards a nice weekend and then a possible stormy early part of
next week.
