Rainfall reports - Two more waves of rain/storms

Good Monday morning and thanks for spending a few minutes here. A quick rundown of rainfall reports from Sunday - Monday AM:

Geneseo: 1.50"
Newton: 1.33"
Russell: 1.18"
Hutchinson: 1.15"
White City: 1.01"
Salina: 0.97"
Hays: 0.84"
Clay Center: 0.64"
Concordia: 0.48"
KWCH Studio: 0.44"
Jabara Airport: 0.38"
Great Bend: 0.17"
Goodland: 0.05"
Hill City: 0.03"
Garden City: 0.02"
Wichita (Eisenhower): Trace

Next Round - Monday night/Tuesday AM
This round of rain & thunder most likely won't be severe in Kansas. Some gusty winds to 50 mph and small, dime size hail will be possible, but most of the stronger storms should remain south in Oklahoma. However, there's still a good chance for some rain & some might be heavy, especially over the Flint Hills and east.


3rd Wave - Wednesday night/Thursday AM
It's not very clear how intense the storms will be around Kansas for Wednesday night. I'm thinking a good deal of the severe storms will stay southeast of our area, but northern Oklahoma and certainly SE Kansas will be in the running for some stronger storms. Large hail (up to golf ball size) and some 60 mph winds look possible later into the evening. But even the timing is somewhat in question. Most of the computer models hold off developing storms until closer to dark.



We do know there will be more periods of heavy rains. So please be careful around any flood water that you might encounter, especially for areas farther east.

Temperatures are going to remain cooler than normal for awhile longer. There's no sign we are jumping right into summer anytime soon.
