Rainfall totals & what's next

Rainfall totals shown here are through 7 a.m. Thursday morning. As of this writing, there's still a great deal of heavy rainfall happening east of I-135 that keeps moving east. But more rain is yet to move this way in the coming days, so please keep that in mind if you haven't received what you were hoping for.

Severy (SE KS): 3.80"
Salina: 3.17"
Goodland: 2.51"
Coffeyville: 2.13"
Hill City: 1.69"
Russell: 0.64"
Hutchinson: 0.47"
Garden City: 0.47"
Geneseo: 0.47"
Great Bend: 0.36"
Hays: 0.28"
Newton: 0.24"
Smith Center: 0.08"
Jabara Airport: 0.03"

Wichita Radar
Goodland Radar
The images above are estimates from Wichita and Goodland radar sites. It's pretty clear to see the biggest rains went along I-70 and then east of I-135.


So here's what's coming next:

The chance for storms tonight (Thu. Night) should setup over southern Kansas (if we get many storms at all). The rain will NOT be as widespread as recent rounds have been. But a few areas may get some more rain into early Friday.

Saturday Night: 

This time frame should have more rain and storms, some of which could be heavy. It's been looking like this batch of storms should cross western Kansas and move into northern Kansas by early Sunday. The areas LEAST likely to get in on the heavy rain will be southern Kansas. Amounts of 1-3" look very possible.
