Are we taking scientific

Body
the point Three weeks without a drop of rainfall in most of Choctaw County have created lots of dry crusty ground and some very difficult forage conditions to everyone in the cattle or livestock industry. These severe drought conditions have sent quality hay prices through the roof and have left many cattle operators, both large and small, wondering where they are going to find/afford hay for the coming winter.

Possible blast of fall Thursday

Body
Oklahoma Mesonet So we may go through hell (but definitely no high water) to get there, but we are in for a blast of fall come Thursday, which coincidentally is the lesser beginning of fall... astronomical fall (as opposed to the much more superior “Climatological Fall” on Sept. 1... and let me say “meteorological fall” is a falsehood perpetrated by the weather community since climatologists are the ones that track seasonal statistics). This blast of cool air will be a welcome change from the record breaking tem-peratures of the next couple of days.
