Chances of rainfall continue through Monday with a 30 percent chance of showers and storms in the early afternoon hours and a 40 percent chance in the evening. Conditions will be mostly dry through the upcoming week into the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Saturday and Sunday’s rainfall follows the latest drought monitor report which indicates moderate drought is still in place across much of the KVOE listening area, essentially from the US Highway 56 corridor to a Teterville-to-Burlington line. Severe drought continues across most of Greenwood County and the southwest quarter of Coffey County.
