Beckham County

Cimmaron, Texas, Beaver, Harper, Ellis, you're under a freeze warning tonight.

Uh, Roger Mills, Beckham, Greer, Harmon, Washita, Custer, Dewey, Woodward, Woods, Major, Alfalfa, Grant, Garfield, Noble, Kay, Pawnee, and Osage and W- parts of Washington County are all under a, uh, frost advisory for tomorrow.

And I'm just ...

Brent is a good example on how comfortable it is.

I was just looking at the radar also, and that cold front must be intensifying this rain because there's a lot of yellow now in Harmon County, around Childress.

Greer County looks like for the most part you're under a lot of, uh, rain in the very western part of Kiowa County, very eastern part of Beckham County, a lot of Custer County, and moving into, uh, Dewey County.

So nothing severe, though, just some steady downpour.

And right behind it, though, is some high north winds, so get ready.

Let's see what...

I wanted to share with you what Lieutenant James Edwards from the Oklahoma Wildlife Department, Mr.

Game Warden for Beckham County, he shared this with me.

Where is he at? James Edwards.

Uh, let's see.

Flood watch until Thursday 7:00 PM for Beckham County issued by the National Weather Service.

Landry, this just in.

This just in, special report.

I guess so.

Or Beckham County.

So come out and see it.

They got it fixed up pretty, pretty nice.

Uh, there was something else I was gonna announce and, uh, but, uh, I do remember what it was, so I guess we won't announce that, huh? I don't remember like it is.

Uh, hope everybody ha- has gotten some rain that has missed some, uh, over the last, uh, uh, two to three weeks.

Uh, we got some rain going on in, uh, d- uh, eastern Roger Mills and Dewey and Custer, western Dewey and Custer County, and, uh, m- uh, raining right here in Beckham County, just right in the...

I call it the northeastern panhandle of Beckham County.

A separate system is producing active flooding across the southern plains.

Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to activate state emergency response resources ahead of the threat, which the state attributes to the remnants of Hurricane Simon.
