Several rainfall events during the month brought near normal to above normal precipitation to portions of southeastern Oklahoma while northeastern Oklahoma received another month of below normal precipitation for January.  Rainfall amounts in some locations in southeastern Oklahoma reached three to four inches for the month.  A widespread rainfall event on the 28th and 29th produced 24-hour rainfall amounts of one to two inches, which was the first time in about five months that more than an inch of rain was observed in southeastern Oklahoma.  Despite this needed rainfall, northeastern Oklahoma remained in severe drought (D2) to extreme drought (D3) conditions and southeastern Oklahoma remained in exceptional drought (D4) conditions during the month due to the rainfall deficits that the area experienced in the long-term.  Reservoirs in eastern Oklahoma remained below 70 percent of their normal pools during January.  A burn ban that was issued for the region in mid November remained in effect through the month.
