June 2023 - General Weather Discussion

[SEMIweather]

I assume it's because OSU owns lots of farmland, including near Perkins for growing cotton in the recent past where there is still a station. But why only one station in Cleveland County where OU and the NWS is headquartered?

Not much farmland in Cleveland County anymore, except for far west Norman and the Slaughterville/Lexington area. Plus, OU isn't an agricultural school.

With how isolated storms can be in Oklahoma, I wonder how accurate our historical data is if we do not have high resolution of collection.

I would imagine fairly accurate over a long timeframe as the precipitation variability from storm to storm all tends to even out over time.
