A thunderstorm, accompanied by high winds, dropped up to .9 inch of rain across Kingfisher County early Tuesday.

Local Weather Observer Steven Loftis, recorded .65 inch at 7 a.m., which came on top of .20 inch recorded Monday morning, a total of .85 inch.

Twila Adams recorded .9 inch at her residence five miles east of Kingfisher as did Gary Reid at his residence near Shafenberg Road, one mile east of Kingfisher, and Mike Reid at his residence on Park Community Road southwest of Kingfisher.

Keith Boeckman at CHS Elevator in Hennessey reported 1.2 inches of rain at the elevator and .5 inch at his residence at Enid.

Cashion Grain and Feed Elevator reported .9 inch.

Okarche Grain and Feed Elevator, eight miles west of Okarche, reported .59 inch.

Wheeler Brothers Grain Elevator at Omega also reported .9 inch.

The moisture provided a boost to county grain fields as warmer temperatures kicked in, pushing the fields from their wintertime dormancy under faster growing conditions.

Many of the more recently- planted fields, delayed by an extended dry period during the fall, are just now beginning to show above the drill tracks.

The rain will also benefit especially established grain fields which have been grazed by livestock.
