A low-end severe weather threat Sunday into early Monday never materialized, and only part of the KVOE listening area got any notable rainfall during that time period.
Sunday afternoon and early evening had a slight risk of severe weather, but a storm cluster lost its intensity as it moved southeast out of Nebraska. Brief heavy rain was noted north of Emporia, although rain totals for the affected area have not been relayed to KVOE News.
Overnight had a marginal severe weather risk. Again, there were no reports, and again storms stayed north of Emporia as they pushed to the southeast.
Rain totals:
*KVOE studios: Trace
*Emporia Municipal Airport: 0.02 inches
*1100 block Constitution: 0.10 inches
*Allen: 0.30 inches
*Lyon County Fishing Lake: 0.70 inches
Storms are possible through mid-morning Monday. Nothing severe is expected. The rest of the week looks to be dry and sunny with high temperatures in the 80s through Thursday before a warmup into the mid-90s by the weekend.
