24 hour rainfall amounts are shown below:
The snow amounts were pretty light. Some areas did report the grass being covered but the rest of the ground was clear. Ground temperatures have warmed enough and the snow that fell Thursday night did NOT set any records for latest snowfall. South central Kansas has had measurable snow in late April and northwest Kansas has had measurable snow in mid May.
Weekend rain chances:
We do have a system coming in from the southwest and a weak cold front that will slide through Saturday night. Chances for rain are going to be focused over southwest and south central Kansas. I think you'll have to be south of I-70 to really have much of a chance. Once again, amounts up to a .50" wouldn't be that much out of the possibilities, but
widespread rainfall like that appears unlikely. AND... severe chances are not likely either.
Severe threat next week: looking less likely
The upper low that we are tracking for the middle of next week should end up far enough south that severe chances would be focused in Oklahoma and Texas. Kansas will likely be spared any destructive hail or damaging wind gusts, but it is something to continue to track. We know these systems can shift around, but recent model runs are continuing to push most of the heavier rain and severe chances south.
Have a great weekend!
