The week began with warm and windy weather, but rainfall the second half of the week cooled down temperatures. Every
Mesonet station had measurable rainfall for the past week, and precipitation averaged 1.34 inches for the state. High tempera­tures averaged in the 60s for the week. Oklahoma City tied the record warm minimum temperature for March 8th, at 61degrees on Wednesday morning, then temperatures dropped for the remainder of the week. The percentage of wheat and ryerated good to excellent improved marginally, and more improvement is expected from the rainfall. The moisture not only bene­fitted small grains already in the ground, but also improved the seedbeds being prepared for spring planting. Topsoil moistureconditions improved significantly-Oklahoma Agricultural Statistics Service.
