Oh how lovely! And, oh how envious I am. Hope some more of the rain reaches you. Y'all have a 4-year deficit to make up.

It was 113 here today and no rain. I'd say your weather was better than mine today. : )

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Around here, you know, the weather giveth and the weather taketh away.

Up to 115 in Ft. Smith and dry as a bone.

Slowpoke, I live in Van Buren. I'm hoping Garrett forecasts relief over the next few days!

Jay, I was in Guymon yesterday morning (stayed at the Best Western). I left there at 9:00 and the temp was pretty low in the 80s, but I don't remember just how low. By the time we reached Slapout I noticed it was 100.

I drove from Dubois, Wyoming to Tulsa by way of Casper, Denver, Lamar, and Guymon over the course of two days and the conditions along the way were shocking. Other than a couple of pockets of green, it is devastation from Lamar to Tulsa.

Scott,
Laverne, OK hit 102 yesterday and we topped out at 89 after I posted this thread. There were more showers around last evening. They are spotted. Most amounts I've heard are from 1/4" to 1/2". Very much appreciated but not a drought breaker. At least it has started raining some and that gives us hope. We have chances for the next several days. They are saying mid to upper 90's for the next 7-10 days with next Monday possibly being 100. So hopefully we are moderating a little. I know it is too early to tell much yet. If a person don't see the devastation and condition of the areas it is almost impossible to imagine. I hope everyone experiences cooler temps and rain soon. I'm just hoping my garden plants continue to look as good as they do and that enough cooler temps will arrive to allow them to produce. Jay
