Rain ends, but not for too long

The weekend comes and goes, and so does the latest round of rainfall. Some of you are very pleased with what you discovered in your rain gauge, while many others are saying "that's all?" Here is where we stand with different reporting stations around the state. Wiping out drought will take time, but over the last week, we've made a dent in many areas. More moisture is needed to fill farm ponds and streams. This is our wet time of the year, so lets hope it keeps coming.

It looks like a front will drop in from Nebraska late Tuesday afternoon, and that should stir up some more clouds for the afternoon (maybe a few sprinkles in the far east).

The chances for rain will once again increase for Wednesday, but the focus will be over southern Kansas. It doesn't look like a severe weather setup for Kansas, but there might be some hail or wind down into Oklahoma.

If you didn't get the rain you were hoping for last week or over the weekend, we can look ahead to Friday to find the best chance for moisture this week. Another storm will approach from the 4 Corners area by Friday which will increase our storm chances. It doesn't look like a big severe weather setup, but can never be ruled out when you are right in the middle of severe weather season.
