Drought has more than doubled in the last 2 weeks, from 44% to 93%. It will most likely continue to fill out and intensify unless we can change course from one of the hottest and driest Augusts on record. More deets in today's Ticker! https://ticker.mesonet.org/

The heat and drought have taken their toll on vegetation, especially across the western half of the state, as shown by the Mesonet's OK-FIRE program's relative greenness maps. Eastern Oklahoma's vegetation is on wilt-watch, too! https://ticker.mesonet.org/

Let's just get through this week and then we can...do the same thing next week? That above-normal hot and dry weather has serious implications for a rapid expansion and intensification of drought, and it'll get worse before it gets better. https://ticker.mesonet.org/

Didya know that it's been 46 days since parts of NW OK have seen a high less than 90? That's like June 25, for crying out loud!! And it's been 16 since Grandfield saw a high of less than 100! More of the same for at least the next week. Boo. https://ticker.mesonet.org/

I guess we shouldn't have roared at it first! Drought coverage increased 16% to 60% in Oklahoma over the last week, with another 36% in danger of drought in the next couple of weeks without significant rainfall. Check out our drought summary in today's Ticker: https://ticker.mesonet.org/

Triple-digits dominate the forecast for the next 7-10 days, but compared to some recent years...not so bad? As for 2011, like Sinéad O'Connor sang: "Nothing Compares 2 U!" https://ticker.mesonet.org/

The 20th-hottest and 30th-driest Oklahoma July on record has set the stage for drought to come roaring back thanks to a hot and dry outlook for August. That would mean fire danger returns as well. UGH! *CLICK TO EMBIGGENATE* https://ticker.mesonet.org/

Friday should be our last "hot" day before we see relief from the heat this weekend into early next week, with highs in the 90s and even a few 80s in northeast OK. But, the heat returns later next week. It's August in Oklahoma, after all!

A lot of us will be in that 105-110 range, but some unlucky locales could see the heat index approach those 115-120F values. We're also watching for the possibility of flash drought developing with little rain in the forecast. Ain't summer grand? https://ticker.mesonet.org/
