We did some digging today with the help of the National Weather Service to track down the records for wettest Augusts and wettest summers. Keep in mind, record information is VERY limited for cities in Kansas. Wichita, Dodge City, Goodland, and Topeka have the most detailed record information and a database that goes back into the 1800s.
Take a look:
Here's are more detailed lists:
Wettest Summers (months of June, July, August)
1) 2005 - 23.61"
2) 1950 - 23.32"
3) 2016 - 20.74"
4) 2013 - 20.15"
5) 1951 - 19.90"
6) 1948 - 18.87"
7) 1995 - 18.71"
8) 1960 - 18.07"
9) 1989 - 17.75"
10) 2004 - 17.09"
Wettest Augusts:
1) 2005 - 11.96"
2) 2013 - 10.63"
3) 1933 - 8.50"
4) 2016 - 8.24"
5) 1960 - 7.91"
6) 1888 - 7.77"
7) 1987 - 7.69"
8) 1895 - 7.67"
9) 1991 - 7.57"
10) 2003 - 6.82"
Rains this weekend will be few and far between. It's definitely a case of "isolated" because about 90% of Kansas won't see anything at all. Take a look at what our Future Track shows for Saturday evening. That's a true example of isolated, and the storms are not likely to be severe. Hope everyone has a nice weekend. Still looks like our Labor Day weekend will be quite warm with highs in the 90s.
