Rainfall amounts ending at 7 a.m. Monday

Some of you will be smiling today because of the welcome rain and moisture across the state. This is certainly the wettest storm Kansas has had since early fall (2017), and it comes at a critical time. The wheat is trying to grow, grass is wanting to green up, and drought has been expanding for months now. The drought is NOT over though. That won't happen until we get several more inches of rain (which hopefully doesn't all come at one time)
