Oklahoma reporting spans observed temperatures and sky conditions, weekly rainfall totals, drought and soil moisture levels, and routine river-level readings. Coverage reaches from the panhandle to the Red River border, drawing on measurements taken across the state. Statewide conditions often differ sharply between the western plains and the eastern forests, so the two are reported with that contrast in mind. Drought status and seasonal rainfall deficits are the measurements that most often change the picture from one update to the next.
