A stationary front was situated near the Oklahoma state line for several days leading to below normal temperatures across much of the central plains. A series of subtle upper level disturbances moving over the Rockies allowed very most air from the Gulf of Mexico to be lifted north of the front resulting in multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms across eastern Kansas. Weekly rainfall amounts of 5-10+ inches resulted in areas of flooding Sunday-Tuesday across portions of the central plains. Numerous roads remained closed on the morning of July 30, 2013 while multiple rivers remain out of their banks.
