Watching for more rain

Halfway through the week and we are gearing up for some March Madness in Kansas weather - more RAIN! Our spring is off to a wet start and that's not going to change any time soon. We are stuck a rut, I guess you could say.

Next rain chances come at us in waves:
Chances for rain have been pushed back in timing, so it's all going to start a little later than previously thought earlier in the week.

Western KS - rain chance Friday afternoon/evening

The initial rain will be light (mainly showers) and amounts likely .10-.20". However, the showers will pick up a bit into Friday night as they begin moving east. We don't expect any severe weather from this, but a few thunderstorms may be mixed in from time to time.

Central KS - Saturday morning

A few showers will be pushing through at the beginning of the day, but I doubt they last very long. And once we arrive into Saturday afternoon, I think we are left with some clouds, but most of the wet weather will have moved on to the east. Rain amounts: generally 0.25" or less

Sunday - Monday chances:

A low pressure system - not a bomb cyclone - will be spinning over the Plains, and this sets us up for... more rain! And the rain we get later in the weekend will be heavier than what we get to start the weekend. Showers (and some thunder) should develop and move to the southeast. Many areas will get a good soaking of rain through Monday too. If you get a chance to look at radar, you'll see most of it wrapping around the low as it crosses southwest Kansas and into Oklahoma. There's a good chance we could see widespread .50-1" during this time frame.
