Storms that began early Saturday brought nearly an inch of rain to Wichita, the most since Nov. 20, when 1.02 inches fell.
Measurable rainfall occurred across much of Kansas.
Radar estimates also show a 5- to 10-mile-wide band running through northern Sedgwick County. National Weather Service meteorologist James Cuellar in Wichita said 2 to 4 inches of rain fell from Cheney Lake to the center of the valley.
Those estimates are not the same as actual sites, such as the one at Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Wichita, which collected 0.97 inches of rain from just after midnight when the storm began until about 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The storm began Friday night in eastern Kansas.
Cuellar said Wichita could get a few hundredths of an inch more rain Saturday afternoon and evening.
A tropical cyclone moving through northern Sedgwick County also brought heavier rainfall to eastern Kansas. The highest rainfall amount measured at a weather station two miles southeast of Ottawa was 2.47 inches, according to the Kansas Mesonet.
Look at the rainfall around Kansas. Two weather stations in northern Sedgwick County overlap each other in this screenshot, showing 1.11 inches 3 miles northeast of Mount Hope and 1.51 inches 2 miles south of Bentley.
Monday through Thursday will be warm, windy and dry, and rainfall will help ease fire concerns.
