Heavy rain likely, Flood Watch in effect tonight through Sunday night

What We’re Tracking

• Storm chances return tonight
• Flood Watch Sunday
• Cool down on the way

Our next good chance for rain arrives tonight, with storms moving into our western counties between 10 PM and midnight before becoming more widespread. Some storms could be strong, bringing gusty winds, hail, and localized flooding concerns.

We’ll catch a break from the rain during the day Sunday, but the better chance for widespread storms returns Sunday night. Heavy rainfall is likely Sunday night into Monday morning as an upper-level trough moves overhead.

The main threat with these storms will be localized flooding, and much of Northeast Kansas remains under a Flood Watch until Monday morning. Below is the excessive rainfall outlook for Sunday into Monday, with most of the area highlighted in a moderate risk.

While the rain may put a damper on weekend plans, it will also bring some relief from the heat. Highs on Sunday will dip into the upper 80s, and by Monday we’ll only top out in the lower 80s. A few showers could linger into the start of the workweek, keeping Monday and Tuesday cooler and on the damp side. We will dry out for the second half of the week.
