Were you awakened by the lightning, thunder and rain showers that moved through the Wichita metropolitan area early Wednesday morning? Some parts of the region received a hearty helping of moisture, as this map prepared by the National Weather Service indicates.
Officially, Wichita recorded about a half-inch of rain, but as you can tell from the map amounts varied widely across the region. That’s pretty common with thunderstorms, which can unload over a small geographic area as they pass and cycle through their life span.
