Radar estimates are shown below from the last 24 hours. Heaviest amounts ended up south of I-70 and generally in central and south central Kansas. On the high side, there were some 2" amounts, but most were down closer to 1.50"

Snow chance arriving Tuesday:

This doesn't look like a big snow event, but there will be some 1" amounts before it's over. Parts of central and northern Kansas may end up with some 1" totals before it pushes out Tuesday night. Gusty north winds and falling temperatures are on the way for the afternoon.

I know we have MANY, MANY areas that need drier weather. We will start the process on Wednesday and continue it through the weekend. However, a wetter than normal March still looks highly possible, so dealing with mud and wet weather might be something we have to get used to until later this spring. A March outlook from me will come later this week.
