NAM tracking storm further north, resulting in some spotty rain for the state and a major snowstorm for KS.

Dang. I was really hoping that the models would push this storm further south. We really need some precipitation.

The track will keep shifting. Tonight, all models shifted system south giving a lot of good rain to majority of the state, so hopefully that continues.

It’s been so long since it rained that I think I’ve forgotten what rain looks like.

Barely. And not enough to be measurable in the majority of Oklahoma County. I've had 0.01" of measurable rain in December at my house near downtown Edmond.

Looking at the 3-day precipitation map, it was a pretty bleak rainfall for central OK... https://www.mesonet.org/index.php/we...ation/rainfall

As someone who will be attempting to drive from Springfield, IL to OKC on Saturday, I really need the NAM’s hilariously northward solution to come through lol.

We are driving from Golden, CO to OKC on Saturday. We came up her via I-70, but I guess we will head straight south and cutover through the TX panhandle.

It looks like most of the state will get some decent and much needed precip out of this

Track has shifted back to the north.

For OKC it looks like a mostly rain event. Will keep monitoring, but any moisture is desperately needed.

I know you all would love rain. This storm is going a little further north than originally forecast and all l can say is "Thank God." Denver area is now expected to get 6 inches on top of where the fire storm hit yesterday up from 1. This is the 1st precip in Denver since June - only a dusting of snow the entire fall.

I know the mountains get these fires but no one has seen such a thing in flatland suburban neighborhoods. Up to 1000 homes damaged or destroyed. I could see the glow reflecting in the smoke after dark from 30 miles away. No one expected such a thing but it shows the awesome destruction of wind blown fire. The real miracle is no one was badly injured or killed.
