Good Friday afternoon!
A look at radar shows that we are looking at some showers that are mainly focused in the Eastern portion of the state. This precip is much lighter than what we have seen over the past few days with some locations picking up over 10 inches of rain:
We think this trend of lighter rains can continue this evening and into the morning hours of your Saturday. This looks to be a little more scattered in nature and not so focused on one area like we have seen with the heavy rains of late. Below is a simulated upper level energy and simulated radar image from 7 PM CT this evening until 7 AM CT tomorrow morning. As we can see, our upper level energy (darker shades of red) in E KS is a lot more scattered and less organized compared to what we have been seeing in E Kansas. This same thought is also seen on simulated radar as showers/ storms are much more scattered and will not be of the washout type. This is not to say that there will not be any pockets of heavier rains here and there, but it is more likely than not that these are more isolated and still focused on the E portion of the state:
Tomorrow’s highs look to be in the upper 80s for most of the state, lower to mid 80s (lighter oranges) where we can see some rain cool those highs a little:
For tomorrow, we think that as the afternoon and evening roll on, we can see diminishing coverage of this scattered activity as it looks to turn more isolated precip chances. Tomorrow looks like it could be a decent break for those areas that received heavier amounts over the past few days. Below is simulated radar from 1 PM CT tomorrow until 7 PM CT tomorrow evening:
A look at rainfall guidance out until tomorrow evening. As mentioned, we think this precip will slowly subside and we will not be receiving the widespread rains that we have seen over the past few days. Totals look to be more in the general 0.25 to 0.75 inches with local amounts higher (near 1.5+ inches). We think this area of higher precip will be more focused in the eastern half of the state as our precip is still continuing to ride right around the upper level ridge that is responsible for keeping the W half of the state much drier:
