This is it for rain ... and look at what's moving back in

It sure is nice having so much green in our landscape around Kansas, but some of you are getting too much rain it's probably creating a few headaches. But I don't want to be the meteorologist on TV saying "we sure need dry weather" because I know some of you are still patiently waiting.

The setup heading into Wednesday and Thursday calls for more of the off and on variety of rain. There will be thunderstorms too, but we not expecting any severe storms. The main threat might be some heavier showers over areas that had 3-4"+ of rain this past weekend.

Latest track on the rainfall shows it moving into western Kansas Tuesday evening and then moving east for Wednesday. Amounts will be around .50-1" in spots. Southwest Kansas may catch the most. It's unlikely the rain will be as heavy as what we had over the weekend. And it's also not going to be as widespread.

The end of this week will mark a shift in the pattern that we really haven't seen since the beginning of summer. The high pressure dome inches its way back to Oklahoma and Texas.

And suddenly we will find ourselves in a spot where there won't be much (if any) rain for several days and it's going to be heating up.
