When was the last time we saw this?

When was the last time you saw western Kansas nearly free of drought conditions, while central and eastern Kansas continues to suffer a major lack of rain?

It's been a weird summer in the fact that rainfall has been really spotty. Some areas are getting dumped on while others, getting missed entirely. Here's the latest drought map (which only takes into account rainfall through Tuesday morning):

Next round:
We are still on track to see the next round of rain move in late Friday night. It will likely be well after 10 p.m. before the heavier stuff settles into our area, and there will be some rain around Saturday morning.

3rd Round:
This could be moving our way Saturday night/early Sunday. And the temperatures that we are looking at for the next week are going to be just outstanding. We even have lower humidity coming by Sunday and Monday.
