More rain as cold front sweeps into northwest Kansas

By late morning Thursday, the skies were beginning to clear — and rain gauges showed another significant dose of precipitation across northwest Kansas.

Rainfall across Ellis County was fairly uniform, ranging from about a quarter to a half inch.

While most of Russell and Trego counties were near the same range, there was a report of 1.1 inches in the northern part of Russell County.

The cold front that passed through the region in the early morning hours Thursday is expected to lead to patchy frost by Friday night, with highs in the low to mid-60s over the next two days. The weekend skies expected to be clear with temperatures reaching a more moderate mid-70s.
