Local Weather History For May 1st...

May of 2018 was the warmest May on record for the state of Oklahoma
and the warmest May since 1962. This very warm May followed a stretch
of several years when May in Oklahoma had been cooler than average.
While there were no extended streaks of very hot or 100 degree
temperatures during the month, high and low temperatures were
consistently above average and there were no strong cold fronts,
which we normally see. For individual locations, it was the warmest
May on record at Lawton, the 2nd warmest at Oklahoma City, and the
5th warmest at Wichita Falls, Texas.
