A return of thunderstorms & heavy rains

We've made it to the weekend and we are very close to our next storm coming through the Plains. Some of you are still hoping for a good snow storm, but at this point, I think we'd take whatever moisture we can get. What is happening right now in Kansas is VERY unusual and it's setting records.

Setup for early next week:
There's going to be a slow moving system coming through the Plains early in the week. The potential is definitely there for some areas to get soaking rains, but the concern... will it all go east of us?

A cold front pushing through the state will be the key as to where the rain begins to develop. Chances for strong to severe storms are possible in southeast Kansas Monday night-early Tuesday. The front is also moving so slow that heavy rains are likely. This is just what we need in Kansas, but we need to push the entire system back about 200-300 miles.

Unless there is some major shift in this setup, we will just have to keep looking down the road for the next storm.

This is a look at how much rain could fall between now and next Wednesday night
