Just for fun, I wanted to take a look at how we did for rainfall estimates across the southern plains yesterday…
The forecast looked like this:
Abilene – 50% || .50″ – .75″
Amarillo – 40% || .10″ – .25″
Dallas – 60% || 1.00″ – 1.25″
Lubbock – 50% || .25″ – .50″Guymon – 30% || .10″ – .25″
Lawton – 60% || 1.25″ – 1.50″
Oklahoma City – 70% || 2.00″ – 2.25″Dodge City – 30% || .10″ – .25″
Hays – 30% || .10″ – .25″
Wichita – 50% || .75″ – 1.25″
This morning, I looked into the rain totals for Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning. And here is how it looked:
Abilene – .61″
Amarillo – .00″
Dallas – 1.29″
Lubbock – .00″
Guymon – .00″
Lawton – .44″
Oklahoma City – .66″
Dodge City – .00″
Hays – .00″
Wichita – .20″
Taking a look at the NOAA 24hr precip estimates from radar data, it looks like the heaviest rain that was anticipated to roll through Lawton and eventually Oklahoma City shifted slightly south and a little east.
Dallas set a record.
Places like Wichita Falls, Texas (1.84″) through Ada, Oklahoma (2.33″) and into Fort Smith, Arkansas (1.71″) received the most rain.
