A week of rain? Looks that way

Good Tuesday morning and thanks for spending a little bit of time with us.

By now you're probably seeing the forecast in many different places calling for days and days of rain chances for Kansas. Are we really in for that many days of moisture? Some areas in Kansas could be in for that many days of rain, but once again, it's all about location.

The next chance arrives Wednesday night/early Thursday:

This is our first cold front of the week and highest rain chances will be focused mainly east.

Friday:

Another front will setup over Kansas and then push south into the night. This round of rain should be more widespread and catch more areas of the state.

Into the weekend:

A huge, slow moving storm forms just west of the Continental Divide into the weekend. This storm will have a wet side and a snowy side to it. Most of the snow will fall from Colorado up to Montana and stay mainly in the high elevations. What we are going to see is potential 2 to as many as 4 rounds of rain and storms. Each one will continue to soak our area.

By the time we get to the middle of next week (about Wednesday), many areas will have had 2-4 inches of rain, with the highest being over central and eastern Kansas. There could be rain gauges that fill up with this particular setup. Amounts of more than 4 inches are not that out of reach given the slow moving setup.

Hope this helps you plan. We will be posting updated Future Track model views within our Storm Team 12 app so you can see updated timing on when the rain arrives and when it departs. But it will be days before we return to drier weather in the Plains.
