Air temperature
The Air Temperature map plots the current air temperature (degrees F) at the standard height of 1.5 m (5 feet). This map is updated every 5 minutes.
Rainfall since midnight

Rainfall since midnight
The Observed Rainfall Since Midnight map displays the total rainfall observed at each Mesonet site since midnight. The map also displays the NWS River Forecast Center's rainfall estimates (in color) across Oklahoma based on radar data.
During precipitation events involving ice, hail, or snow, the rain gauges used by the Oklahoma Mesonet may freeze over and record no rainfall. Once air temperatures rise enough to allow thawing, accumulated frozen precipitation in the gauge will melt and be recorded.
This map is updated every 5 minutes.

Ecoregions of Oklahoma - Level III (Omerick)
The Oklahoma ecoregion map was compiled at a scale of 1:250,000; it revises and subdivides an earlier level III ecoregion map that was originally compiled at a smaller scale (Omernik, 1987; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2005). In Oklahoma, there are 12 level III ecoregions. More maps can be found at http://www.epa.gov/wed/pages/ecoregions/ok_eco.htm.
