10/6/2016 7:00 AM 0.73 M M M M Had two tornado touchdowns in eastern Cowley County, with minor damage to things like corrals and trees. Our own yard is waterlogged and squishy.
1/7/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M We got a stray snowflake early in the day, so little though that if I hadn't been at the window washing dishes, I wouldn't have seen it.
1/13/2017 7:00 PM T M M M M Just curious how I would record ice? Our area of Kansas is supposed to get a lot of it this weekend.
2/20/2017 7:00 AM 1.93 M M M M Our yard is water logged and all over Ark City there's evidence of street flooding.
3/5/2017 7:00 AM T M M M M It's been a gray, misty day all day; also chilly and not a day you want to be outside unless you have to be.
3/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Lots of smoke aloft from the western KS fires.
3/27/2017 7:00 AM 0.46 M M M M This came in the middle of a crash and bang storm, complete with thunder, lightening and wind.
3/29/2017 7:00 PM 2.40 M M M M Our yard is absolutely saturated! This rain came all night long.
3/30/2017 7:00 PM T M M M M There was a fine mist in the air most of the day and it was quite chilly. Where did our spring go?
4/2/2017 7:00 PM 1.40 M M M M
4/4/2017 7:00 PM 0.33 M M M M This evening I got to witness the Devil beating the Ice Queen! What else would you call it when you get a terrible hail storm, with the sun shining?! Ice was piled up on the side of our bypass at least 8" deep!
4/20/2017 7:00 PM 0.33 M M M M Came in the early morning hours.
5/11/2017 7:00 AM 1.32 M M M M At the heighth of this storm, Ark City's streets were virtually flooded.
5/12/2017 7:00 AM 1.08 M M M M Most of this rain came in one deluge, at about the same time as the one on the 10th. Ark City's field, yards and roads are beyond saturated!
5/30/2017 7:00 PM 0.38 M M M M
5/31/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Heavy dew and quite humid

6/18/2017 7:00 AM 1.51 M M M M
6/27/2017 7:00 AM 0.92 M M M M Last night's storm hit so suddenly and with such ferocity that I seriously wondered if we would have heard the town's tornado sirens if they'd sounded! We lost power for about four hours and have limbs and branches down all over the yard.
6/28/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clean up continues as all over Ark City, Winfield and the countryside there are power poles, trees, limbs and branches down.
6/30/2017 7:00 AM 0.60 M M M M This came at day break and a few smaller showers during the night. The fields have standing water in them from just being saturated.
7/4/2017 7:00 AM 0.90 M M M M There went the fireworks! This rain began about 8 PM on the 3rd and did not quit until the morning of the 4th.
7/5/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Bright and sunny, with mild temperatures...so atypical for early July!
7/6/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Light dew
7/7/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Gonna be hot and humid today; finally feeling like July.
7/8/2017 7:00 AM 0.20 M M M M Just enough moisture to keep the humidity up
8/5/2017 7:00 AM 3.97 M M M M Classic "frog strangler" and the least rain I read of local friends, who got up to 6" in just a few hours. My kids nearly drove into a flashflood, under a bridge...
8/10/2017 7:00 AM 1.68 M M M M Some of this fell this afternoon. The fields are saturated but in our own garden, the rains have soaked right in.
8/13/2017 7:00 PM 0.02 M M M M Hardly enough to report.
9/2/2017 7:00 PM 0.19 M M M M
9/6/2017 7:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M Continues to be heavy dew in the morning and today was the first time this season I saw wispy fog above the ponds and rivers. This only happens when the air temperature is cooler than the water.
