A light drizzle of rain fell on Kingfisher most of Sunday.

While the rain provided only .07 inch of moisture, according to the Mesonet station west of Kingfisher, the cloud cover kept the temperature low throughout the day, a relief from searing 100 and 100-plus degree readings for much of August.

Local Weather Observer Steve Loftis reported .1 inch at the National Weather Service Station in Kingfisher.

The local forecast calls for highs in the upper 80s and low 90s through Monday.

The front that brought the relief treated several arid western counties to welcome moisture, Tipton in far southwest Oklahoma (Tillman County) reported 1.58 inches of rain and Grandfield received 1.27 inches while neighboring Altus (Jackson County) recorded 1.44 inches, Hollis (Harmon County) recorded .75 inch. Mangum (Greer County) got .96 inch and Hobart (Kiowa County) showed 1.08 inches – all unusually heavy amounts for the month of August.

Cheyenne in far western Oklahoma (Roger Mills County) recorded 1.02 inches.

Wakita in Grant County recorded the heaviest rainfall at a Mesonet station – 2.71 inches.

Idabel in far southeast Oklahoma reported 1.89 inches and nearby Hugo reported 1.96 inches.

Central eastern Oklahoma and the Panhandle all showed minimal amounts.

Watonga, just west of Kingfisher received a more generous .43 inch shower.

While slightly cooler weather is in the offing for the rest of this week the forecast didn’t call for much chance of additional rain, except for a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms on Saturday.
