These Are the Oklahoma Counties with the Worst Drought
I don't think Oklahoma has had a winter and start to spring quite like this in the better part of a decade. Warm, windy, and very dry regardless of recent rains. How long did winter last this time around, two weeks? Maybe a third week if you count it as the second winter?
This same warm winter weather phenomenon happened last in 2017. While we haven't been quite as warm as it was that year, we've been close with random daily highs nearing 90 in parts of the state. It's a stark change from that year Oklahoma experienced seven winter storms with ice and snow, the last hitting us in mid-April... Was it 2022 or 2021?
Regardless, Oklahoma is teetering on the edge of a spreading drought, and while we all collectively hope the bad weather stays away from wherever we live, the Sooner State once again is in need of rain in the worst way. Here are some of the driest counties in the state.
