Weekend Rain
Good morning! Just thought I would do an early update... on rainfall amounts so far... and the chance of additional rainfall later today. Here are some area numbers as of 7am:
KCI: 1.05"
DOWNTOWN KC: .97"
LAWRENCE: 1.23"
SW LAWRENCE: 1.75"
ST. JOSEPH: 1.36"
SEDALIA: 1.43"
KNOB NOSTER: .74"
OLATHE: .73"
TOPEKA: 2.19"
EMPORIA: 1.55"
CHILLICOTHE: 1.07"
GREENWOOD, MO: 1.20"
SOUTHERN KC: 1.20"
PRAIRIE VILLAGE: 1.10"
LEAVENWORTH: 1.50"
LEES SUMMIT: .83"
GARDNER, KS: .90"
CLINTON: 1.3"
WARRENSBURG: 2.00"
NORTHERN LENEXA: 1.21"
BLUE SPRINGS: .91"
MERRIAM: 1.10"
If you want to send us your totals... I will add them to the list! Right now, we have some rain moving out of the area... now exiting the Trenton/Chillicothe areas to the east of KC. We still have some areas of drizzle in the Metro... and this could hold on as the morning wears on.
So what about our rain chances later today? Well, we are watching a developing area of rain to our Southwest:

You can see the area I am referring to, to the south and southwest of Wichita. This is in association with our upper low. There is still the chance this area of showers and thunderstorms will move in as the afternoon goes on. So while we will have a dry period, things could change later today. Some of this activity has the potential to produce heavy rain... and possibly some severe weather. We will keep you posted!
Have a good day!

To clarify where my 1.75 inches fell in Lawrence, my house is near the corner of 23rd and Iowa, so I am a little bit east of Bob's position. Interesting that I had more than half an inch more than Bob!
JOHN:
The nature of thunderstorms! ;)

And John I'm jealous of that extra wet you received that I didn't. But then again you probably had some of that hail last week, and all I had over here was some wind.

BOB:
Thanks for keeping us accurate!

We had some pea-size hail here but nothing overly bad. Our cars are OK.
I like the rain but I sure hope they can get the Royals game in. They need a win!
JOHN:
Where are you located... south or east of KC?
Thanks,
Jamie

Jamie, I was referring to the hail storm a few days ago in Lawrence, in response to Bob's comment.
JOHN:
THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION!
