Good Sunday, bloggers,
It has been a struggle for some locations to get a nice rain. I have been talking about it for a while, and it is certainly getting old for me to talk about it.
A widespread rain would end the talk. The driest locations are from Topeka, Kansas, to west of Marshall, Missouri, and mostly south of I-70 in KC.
Today, we saw most of the thunderstorm activity along and south of I-70, but it was scattered. A few dry locations saw a quick .25"-.50".
Last night, around Grandview, a dry area, saw 2"-3" of rain in an hour. A flash flood warning was issued; a bit too much of a good thing too fast.

What is needed is a nice widespread rain. We have 1-2 chances during the next 7 days to see widespread rain.
Details on the rain chances, week ahead and looking a bit beyond 7 days are in the 4-minute video below.
Have a great week ahead.
Stay healthy.
