Rain chances and the potential for flooding will persist this week as cleanups continue from Friday’s storms. The National Weather Service in Wichita reported “an extremely moist airmass” on Friday erupted with storms along a stationary front. The storms were efficient rainfall producers, leading to 3-4 inches of rain per hour in some areas. Friday’s storms “produced pockets of severe downburst winds with the town of Newton taking the brunt of the wind damage,” NWS Wichita reported. Marion County had the worst flooding, “with numerous evacuations and water rescues,” though southeast Kansas also had serious flooding along the Neosho River.
