Too much rain for some and more coming

Just over half way through the month of May and this has been a wet and stormy month for our area. The drought has had a significant setback with round after round of rainfall and it's not done yet. In the next 7-8 days, two different storm systems will cross the area and bring chances for moisture back to Kansas. 

Storm System #1

The first rounds of moisture for this week will arrive Tuesday (mainly west) and then spread east into Tuesday night. The atmosphere will be cool enough that we may not even have thunderstorms; just some rain showers. Amounts of rain should fall between 0.25"-0.50" for most of the state. 

Storm System #2

Another system will kick out of southern California and into the Plains come Friday/Saturday. This one will have a better chance of producing thunderstorms and possibly some severe weather. The highest chance for hail and wind producing storms will come Saturday across the area. It will also be windy, which may not make it much fun for those boating at area lakes.
