Day 231: Holey Rain
Over the last week or so, much of Oklahoma received a decent amount of rain (at least for August). The graphic above depicts a rough estimate of rainfall over the western half of the state. Notice the big hole in appreciable rainfall over central Oklahoma (Chickasha to Oklahoma City)? My front yard notices it… 
Rain prospects over the next 10 days or so certainly don’t look all that great. It’s next to impossible to rule out an isolated thunderstorm, especially with a front nearby, but rain chances will remain very low for the foreseeable future.
