Here we go again... Rain!

I had a chance to venture home this past weekend and saw first hand how wet many areas continue to be. There's so much standing water in so many places that even 2 or 3 weeks of dry weather may not be enough.

In the last 60 days, areas just north of Kansas are 2-4" above normal on moisture, combined with melting snow and a serious dam failure, it's an unfortunate mess in Nebraska.

Tuesday rain chance:

Compared to some of the rainy setups we've seen lately, this one will be a dud. A few showers will skirt across central and northern Kansas Tuesday morning and into the afternoon, but the amounts will be minimal. In most cases, the rainfall will add up to less than .10", but slightly higher amounts may fall in far northeast Kansas.

Late week storm:

After a couple of dry days Wednesday and Thursday, we will watch another system coming into the area for the end of the week. This low pressure system should come through the southwest (like so many others lately) and begin to develop rain showers as soon as Friday morning. The wet weather will keep pushing east Friday evening. We are still several days out, but early signs point toward .25-.50", which might look like a 2 inch rain when you consider how saturated the ground is.
