Spotted thunderstorms left as much as four inches of rain in sections of Kingfisher County Wednesday night.

And when the sun popped out in between showers, local residents also were treated to the rare sight of a double rainbow.

Loyal had the heaviest rainfall amount reported. Jon Cochran Sr. said one gauge at his residence in Loyal showed 3.75 inches and another showed four inches.

Kingfisher received one of the lesser amounts. The Mesonet site west of Kingfisher showed .51 inch. Local Weather Observer Steve Loftis registered .55 inch at the National Weather Service Station inside city limits. The rain moved Kingfisher’s total for September to .61 inch and the year-to date total to 26.54 inches.

An unofficial gauge at the Wildwood Addition, east of Kingfisher, recorded .3 inch.

The Mesonet site recorded .57 inch for a three-day total for Kingfisher.

Other local reports included:

Cashion – Two inches at the Cashion Grain and Feed elevator.

Dover – One inch at the Rick and Robin Johnston residence northwest Dover.

Hennessey – 1.3 inches at the CHS Elevator.

The three-day rain report from Mesonet sites included the following: Watonga, 1.48 inches; El Reno, 1.35 inches; Guthrie, 1.34 inches, and Marshall .08 inch.

Heaviest rainfall amounts for the week were recorded at Byars in Garvin County, 8.28 inches; Shawnee in Pottawatomie County, 5.47 inches, and Clayton in Pushmataha County (southeast Oklahoma), 7.97 inches.

The moisture boosted area pastures, crops, lawns and gardens and increased soil moisture, creating ideal conditions for the start of fall grain planting.
