Parts of nearly all counties in our area received some measurable precipitation as thunderstorms rolled through central and northcentral Kansas beginning Friday afternoon.

Storms were strong enough to prompt the National Weather Service to issue several severe thunderstorm warnings. Some storms brought with them hail and wind in addition to heavy rain. In the Lincoln area, small hail covered the ground.

Rainfall totals varied from a trace 2.5 miles south-southwest of Inman to 1.65 inches 5.6 miles south of Gypsum.

At the Salina Regional Airport, 1.16 inches of rain was reported for the 24-hour period that ended at 7 a.m. Saturday. Additionally, a wind gust of 52 mph was reported at 4:53 p.m. In southeastern Salina, near the Eagle Radio studios, 0.30 of an inch was reported.
