It wasn’t a gully-washer, but still-parched Ellis County received a pleasant spring shower overnight Thursday.

Most reports from the county were in the third of an inch range, although there was a report of nearly a half inch in the southern portion of the county.

Similar reports were reported in Trego County, and most of Russell County received about a quarter inch of rain.

Several reports from Ness and Rush counties exceeded a half inch of rain.

Additional precipitation is expected tonight as a front moves through western Kansas. Projected rainfall is up to 1 and 2 inches. The chance of showers persists through the weekend.
