Are we in for storms everyday in the next week?

So many different places you can get a forecast these days, and some of them out there have storm chances EVERY day between now and the end of next week. It is safe to say this could be the most active stretch we've had in over 6 months. But the chance any one area will have a storm every day is LOW! 

What to watch this weekend:
Temperatures will range from 60s and 70s to the north, to low 90s in the south. Storm chances don't look good at all for Saturday, but heads up to Sunday night.
Sunday night storm chance:
I expect some strong to severe storms heading into Sunday evening. Just a heads up as I think this is our next highest chance for some severe storms. They look to develop east of a Hays to Dodge City line and then move northeast. Hail is the biggest threat.
Next week:
Most storm chances will be late evening and into the night. There is a SLOW-nearly stationary storm over Utah and Idaho. It's not until the middle of next week (around Wednesday, May 16) that the system begins to move. When it finally does, rain and storm chances will ramp up statewide by Wednesday/Thursday. So don't get discouraged if you are missed by rain Monday and Tuesday - chances will increase midweek.

How much rain?
I realize it's going out on a limb to post this image, realizing that with scattered storm chances, some of you won't get what is shown here. But I wanted to show you what is POSSIBLE between now and the end of next week. With so many rounds of storms possible, we could chip away at drought conditions.

Will we now have to wait until September for a dry spell and a break from the off-and-on rain and storms?
