As the month of July comes to a close, take a look at the numbers. Wichita had it's 6th wettest July on record, but other areas of the state are a little below average on moisture for the month. However, many areas are still way ahead for the year, due in part to the very wet month of May that we had around the state. The long range forecast is calling for some rain to move in Monday night/Tuesday of next week, followed by a cool down and more rain that should arrive at the end of next week.
