More than an inch of rain for parts of Wichita this weekend

The official total for Wichita from the weekend rains will be .77 of an inch, because that’s what fell at the recording site next to Mid-Continent Airport in west Wichita.

But Jabara Airport in northeast Wichita logged more than an inch of rain, and parts of the metro area received nearly 1.5 inches. Here’s a map showing rainfall totals across the 26-county area covered by the Wichita metro area.

The amounts were above – and in many cases well above – the anticipated totals of a quarter- to half-inch.
