Today will turn breezier with gusts to the 30-40 MPH range. This will be accompanied by flurries and perhaps a dusting of light snow in areas north of Highway 92. Mild temperatures return for early next week. #NEwx #KSwx

On Thursday the 8th, much of our 30-county forecast area saw a rare January precipitation event in that it was ALMOST ENTIRELY RAIN (very little if any snow). However, totals varied considerably across our area...from less than 0.10" in several of our far western/northern counties...to as much as 0.50-1.00" in several of our far southern/southeast counties. The table on the graphic lists several of the highest officially measured totals, along with totals at the Tri Cities airports.
