"The weather may be part of it, but one’s emotions are not a total victim of the weather.”
Goodbye, drought? The heaviest rain Tuesday fell from south-central to southeast Oklahoma. A Mesonet site near Rush Springs had measured 1.88 inches by 8 p.m.
Is the drought over? Technically, no, for some areas, said Alex Lamers, a forecaster for the National Weather Service. Areas of western and southern Oklahoma still were abnormally dry or in a moderate drought when the U.S. Drought Monitor figures were released last week.
It could change when the weekly report is released Thursday morning.
The last 30-day period has been the eighth wettest for that time period since record-keeping began in 1921. All of the state received rainfall well above normal for that period.
A brief respite is expected today.
