Just incredible amounts of rain since this latest storm started last Friday. Roads are flooded, ditches are full, the fall harvest is at a standstill, and many areas are like a sponge right now.
Here are the storm totals as we have them through 7 a.m. Tuesday morning:
A few flakes of snow will fly in northwest Kansas tonight and some accumulation is possible on grassy areas. However, roads will be fine because ground temperatures are very warm still.
Dry weather returns Wednesday/Thursday!
While the national media watches and talks about Michael hitting Florida, we are looking to Sergio.
This is a hurricane churning through the Pacific as a category 1 storm. It will be into the Plains by Saturday. The system will be accelerating and arriving soon. What it will mean for Kansas is more rain. However, this system is moving fast (unlike the current storm) - so we shouldn't have to worry about major rains like we've seen lately. Most of the rain will happen Saturday. There is a chance we could have a few leftover sprinkles on Sunday (maybe mixed with a snow flurry or two), but this should be a system that will be here and gone in less than 24 hours.
Frost/Freeze concerns early next week!
Colder air will be around to start next week and we could be looking at a frost or freeze in many areas. The growing season is about to end - but this would be about right on schedule for many parts of Kansas.
