.A few showers fell across the northern third of Oklahoma Saturday but most of the state was without precipitation. Records were set across the state as brutally hot temperatures were recorded last week. Oklahoma City recorded a high of 113 on Friday, tying the all-time maximum temperature for Oklahoma City. The high for the week was 115 degrees in Kingfisher, and highs averaged 100 degrees or more in all districts. The most recent Drought Monitor shows 71.6 percent of the state is in an extreme to exceptional drought, the worst since last November. Livestock producers were selling cattle, as the unabated heat dried up grasses and water sources. Crop conditions continued to decline. Ninety-eight percent of topsoil and subsoil moisture
conditions were rated as short to very short. --USDA.
