The old adage that if you don't like the Kansas weather, wait a day or two is proving to be accurate once again.

After issuing red flag warnings Wednesday for much of the state, including counties in our area, the National Weather Service (NWS) has issued flood watches for a significant part of the state.

NWS in Wichita has issued a flood watch in effect from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon for the following counties in our area.

Marion County

McPherson County

Saline County

Occasional showers and thunderstorms, some thunderstorms will contain very heavy rain will be likely during the watch time. As much as 2 to 4 inches of rain will be possible during this time.

Low land and flood prone areas will likely flood first. Areas adjacent to these areas will also be a risk.
