Storms spin up at Hays, but most rainfall was to the east

Thursday’s storm front that ripped through Kansas once again used Hays as its starting point.

Early rainfall totals in Hays were in the 0.02- to 0.04-inch range, while just to the east of the city, totals increased to more than a third of an inch.

Russell County received a healthy rain, with most reports there at approximately 1 inch.

The storm deposited much more substantial rain to the east, including Dickinson County — still reeling from a tornado earlier this week. The Abilene region received nearly 3 inches of rain in portions of Dickinson County.

The highest report in the state was in the eastern Kansas county of Osage, where there was a report of 4.46 inches of rain.
