That brings the year-to-date total for Purcell to 10.65”. That compares to 4.14” at Will Rogers World Airport.

The normal year-to-date total is 5.65”.

According to the Oklahoma Mesonet, Washington received about two inches. Byars recorded .61”, the Mesonet said.

The storm moved east dumping 3 1/2” on Lexington as it moved toward eastern Oklahoma.

The next chance for additional moisture is next Tuesday and Wednesday.
