How much rain, where & when?

We've made it to the weekend and there's a lot of anticipation on this upcoming storm to deliver some badly needed rain. But as we've seen before, big storms like the one we are about to see in the Plains move SLOWLY. So be patient as we wait for rain to move from west to east.  Good news is that it's unlikely we will have very many (if any) severe storms. Even though we are in "second season" for severe weather, I don't expect there to be much in the way of hail or damaging winds.

Friday night - Sunday afternoon:
Most rain will fall in the west (basically west of Hays to Dodge City)

Sunday night:
We should start to the see the leading edge of rain getting into central Kansas, but not as far east as Salina, Hutch, or Wichita.

Monday:
Rain is possible (and even likely in many areas) for areas along and west of I-135.

Monday Night-Tuesday:
Rain ends across the west, but continues for central and eastern Kansas.

By the time we get to Wednesday morning, our forecast models suggest everyone in Kansas will have had some rain. Heaviest amounts are expected in the west, but even central and eastern Kansas could get close to an inch.

And - much cooler weather takes over next week too. There will be many days with 60s and 70s for highs!! Fall weather is finally on the way.
