8-26-19 KS/NE: Dry/cooler weather settles in into mid-week…eyeing late week potent storm cluster risks ahead. K.

Today’s video:

Rainfall over the past 3 days is below…some very heavy localized rain especially across central Kansas:

Remaining rainfall will stay isolated across eastern Kansas as we go throughout the remainder of the day, dry for the rest of us. Generally we can see an additional 0.25-0.75″ across eastern Kansas, locally higher on the border with Missouri:

The forecast is VERY quiet as we head through our Tuesday to Thursday as a whole with little to discuss regarding rainfall chances. Our next chances are increasing Friday into Saturday as shown well by the Euro model, mainly in the form of storm cluster risks. So at this distance, we have elevated awareness for the risk for gusty/damaging winds and locally very heavy rainfall once again Friday into Saturday. Beyond this, the way that it looks right now, the rest of Labor Day weekend looks dry:

Total rainfall guidance into early next week is below, again all of this coming Friday into Saturday so some of these totals will shuffle around based on exactly where these storm clusters and cold front pop late week. Right now feeling like most of us pose the risk for 0.5-1.5″, with locally 1.5-3.0″ on the table for folks who cash in on both storm clusters:

Wind forecast guidance into mid-week…fairly gusty to start the week as the front pushes through:
