Welcome rainfall doused Texoma on Tuesday. May is historically the wettest month of the year, but before today, most locations in Texoma were running less than 50% of "normal" May rainfall. Thus, this was very timely. These precipitation totals are through 3pm Tuesday and will be updated again later this evening:

 Ada                                           1.95”

 Antlers                                     2.15”

 Ardmore                                   1.86”

 Atoka                                       2.74”

 Durant                                      1.51”

 Gainesville                                 0.81”

 Hugo                                        2.56”

 Madill                                       1.07”

 Marietta                                    1.79”

 Tishomingo                               1.86”

 Sherman-Denison                     2.22”  (KXII Studios)

This is the best rainfall coverage we have seen in three weeks. It will restore the soil moisture and help keep things green.

We’ll return to a dry, but humid pattern beginning Thursday.
