July 2023 - General Weather Discussion

[Bunty]

Friday morning featured not quite the northern half of Oklahoma getting some generous rains fairly evenly distributed, though Tulsa was in a donut hole for less rain. The Mesonet weather station pictured above got 1.09". I got 1.14".

Most of Oklahoma has been well blessed this summer, though not perfectly so from at least one widespread severe storm event, a squall line, associated with unusually high wind. Some people have had very big hail. Anyway, when it gets hot it hasn't been Texas sized heat well into the 100s. Rain has been generous enough to keep the grass green but when it rains, it doesn't do it in 10" amounts like in Vermont.

The Mesonet just estimates totals in between their sites. I had nearly 1.25" in midtown Tulsa but the airport only recorded 0.81". Tulsa is still at a deficit overall compared to the rest of OK this summer so this was definitely needed.
