After a significant storm front was predicted to sweep through the region Wednesday night, hopes were high for a bit of much-needed moisture.
It was easy to be disappointed by what was in the rain gauge Thursday morning, however.
Official reports from the far northwest segment of Hays showed a scant tenth of an inch was the highest official report, with most of the town getting approximately .02 to 0.3 inches.
The official measurement at the K-State Ag Research Center was .06 inches — with total precipitation for the calendar year now at 2.65 inches.
A report of .29 inches was the most significant rainfall reported in Ellis County, that from the far northwest portion of the county.
The most significant rainfalls reported in the region were just more than 1 inch in Gove and Logan counties. A report in Ness County showed .72 inches of rain overnight.
