Goodbye, Dolly…Hello, Edouard

For the second time in a matter of days, Kansas is about to get a visit from the remnants of a tropical storm —- but we’ll barely notice.

National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Bowman said the remnants of Tropical Storm Edouard will be so broken up by the time they reach Kansas late this week we’ll only see an increase in moisture available for a front to tap into.

When what was left of Hurricane Dolly moved toward the Great Plains last week, Bowman said, “there was a well-defined area of low pressure.” Edouard won’t even offer that.

Dolly brought .60 of an inch of rain over three days in late July to Wichita, adding to what has the potential to be one of the wettest years in the city’s history.
