Sunday evening rainfall amounts in Hays were varied across town, as were the reports of the size and amounts of hail.

Hays Post received several reports from Hays residents who measured about two inches of rain; the Eagle Media Center, 2300 Hall Street had 2.07 in the gauge.

Officially, though, the Mother’s Day rain was much less.

(Just 0.73 rain in southeast Hays with smaller than pea-sized hail for about five minutes)

Joe Becker, official weather guy at the K-State Agriculture Research Center just south of Main Street and Old Highway 40, reported 0.71 of rainfall Sunday with pea-sized hail about 8:30 p.m. lasting about 10 minutes. No damage was reported from that hailstorm.

Becker also reported 0.05 inches of rain on Saturday, May 7.
