Aside from heavy rainfall Nov. 4-6, the KVOE listening area hasn’t had much in the way of rainfall this month. At least there is more rainfall on tap for part of the weekend.
The National Weather Service is looking for light to moderate rainfall Saturday afternoon through early evening. Current totals could be anywhere from 0.25 inches to 1 inch areawide, with heavier totals along and east of the Kansas Turnpike.
The Weather Service also says there could be some snowflakes Saturday morning and Saturday evening. No snow accumulation is expected.
Another rain-snow mix is possible Tuesday night.
Moderate drought continues across Lyon, Chase and Osage counties, as well as northwest Coffey, northwest Greenwood, southeast Morris and southeast Wabaunsee counties.
Severe drought covers most of Coffey County. Greenwood County, meanwhile, still ranges from moderate drought in the north part of the county to exceptional drought along and south of US Highway 54.
Greenwood County is in a drought emergency, according to the Kansas Water Office. Lyon, Chase, Coffey and Morris counties are in a drought warning, while Osage and Wabaunsee counties are in a drought watch.
