Incredible rains & severe threat today

Hope you had a terrific Memorial Day weekend. The holiday weekend ends with some incredible rainfall across northwest and north central Kansas. It was hard to believe some of the radar estimates we were looking at in the storm center Monday night. Some places appeared to have received over 8 and 9 inches of rain.
Here are some totals through 7 a.m.:
Hill City: 5.64"
Goodland: 1.83"
Hays: 1.22"
Russell: 1.05"
Dodge City: 0.94"
Garden City: 0.94"
Goodland: 0.79"
Smith Center: 0.42"
Wichita: 0.34"
Pratt: 0.23"
Medicine Lodge: 0.17"
Liberal: 0.13"
Newton: 0.11"

Setup Today:
More strong/severe storms will be pushing through Kansas. Storms will likely intensify/develop near Hays down to just east of Dodge City. Once they take off, they should move to the east. Main threats until about 7 p.m. will be large hail and strong winds. After 7 p.m., storms will likely be more wind/heavy rain producers. The tornado threat is very low today, but can't be completely ruled out.



Storms will arrive into the Hutch/Wichita areas after 7 p.m. and continue moving east. Latest model trends show storms getting out of the area shortly after midnight.
