The southern Plains have been absolutely pounded by rains this month. Oklahoma has set an all time record monthly rainfall total, reaching 18.69 inches as of yesterday morning. This is more than the average precipitation over a five month period from March through July. Amazingly, every day since May 5 — thats 20 straight days — has brought at least 4 inches of rainfall to at least one location in the state of Texas. Other cities experiencing all-time totals include: Wichita, KS; Colorado Springs, CO; Lincoln, NE; Lubbock Texas, TX; Corpus Christi, TX; and Fort Smith, AR.
