Rainfall amounts & what's still to come

Rainfall reports from Monday evening/early Tuesday:
Winfield: 2.02"
Emporia: 1.85"
Medicine Lodge: 0.90"
Jabara Airport (NE Wichita): 0.56"
Garden City: 0.55"
Concordia: 0.16"
Dodge City: 0.14"
Salina: 0.12"
Newton: 0.09"
Hutch: 0.07"


Some of you have asked if we are still expecting most of the state to get rain (like what we were talking about at the end of last week). The answer to that is yes!! We still have several more chances coming up this week and we have a much better idea when it will arrive.

Tonight (Tue. Night): Best rain chance - SW
Showers and storms will develop and move into far southwest Kansas late into the evening. These storms should not be severe.

Wednesday: Spotty thunderstorms for central and southern Kansas
Not everyone will get rain Wednesday, but watch for the hit and miss storms to develop in the heat of the afternoon.

Thursday: Main area of storms - NW Kansas
Chances for storms will shift back to northern Kansas with some heavy rain, hail, and some wind. Storm chances will continue for northern Kansas well into the night.

Friday & into Saturday:
Chances for storms return to northern Kansas by Friday evening. This could be a severe weather setup again for many areas. We will also be watching for storms to develop in southwest Kansas and continue into the night.

By the end of this week, many areas still stand a chance of getting about an inch (or more around heavier storms). So our forecast from last week still stands. Just have to be patient with the rain as we have many, many chances still to move our way.
