Drouth




Hey kids, are ya ready for another heat wave, because absence makes the heart
grow fonder, right? Well, for those folks in Southern Oklahoma, they never really
"missed" it at all, while NE OK was rubbing it in basking in the 80s (and we all
know just how painful that can be).





It's western Oklahoma's turn today, because why not share the fun?





Well don't worry, because soon we'll ALL be sharing it. Okay, worry.





The heat doesn't help the drought, obviously, so those areas in western Oklahoma
that have seen drought hold on are probably going to see it get worse before it
gets better (and in some areas, it's gonna be hard to get worse!).





There is a chance for storms over the next couple of days, but don't look for
those bigtime rains we've had previously.



Prepare to non-bask, everybody.
