State Climatologist Gary McManus says there’s a storm system headed this way that could bring a LOT of rain for some of the state, but not ALL of the state, “
Rain starts tonight across the eastern half of the state or so, then continues through Wednesday off and on. Maybe a bit of snow here and there mixed in Tuesday night and Wednesday morning up in NW, OK. However, for the most part, NW OK stays on the lower end of the precip totals.”
McManus says this is not good news for the Panhandle, which is still five-plus months of waiting for a quarter inch of rain in a single day.
Over the past few days, we’ve seen warmer weather throughout the state, but McManus says the Spring-like Weather is coming to than end for a while, “We get a front tonight, then another front on Thursday. Other than that, fairly boring winter weather without the Arctic air. The polar jet stream has flown North for a while, it appears.”
