Round #1 over - next one arrives Friday

So we are off and running on our week long rain chances. Here are some totals through 7 a.m. Thursday.

A 50! degree temperature change for some parts of Kansas today. Isn't this incredible? Even if you don't like cool, fall weather, you have to agree that going from record 90° heat to 40s in 24 hours is just unreal. Goodland had a record Wednesday afternoon of 94. Wow!!

So today's cold front becomes a warm front Friday. Much of the state will be back in the 80s Friday afternoon.



It's not until Friday after 7 p.m. that we start to see round #2 coming through Kansas. Severe weather isn't likely, but more areas of heavy rain will sweep through Kansas.


More rounds of rain will be coming Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and there will still be some rain early Wednesday. That's 8 days of rain chances! When we get to the middle of next week, we still expect central and eastern Kansas to see 4, 5, maybe even 6 inches of rain. Far western Kansas is expected to get an inch or two. 

Be prepared to deal with standing water and maybe some flooding issues. The good news is that being spread out over several days should hopefully reduce the amount of flooding that we'll see.
