Sunday is going to be another wet, potentially stormy day for some counties in our area.

An additional one to two inches of rain is possible Sunday morning for some parts of the area, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wichita. The rainfall could create minor flooding problems and keeps in place a flood watch for several counties in the area.

Additionally, a few strong to severe storms will be possible between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday over central Kansas, NWS-Wichita noted.

A flood watch continues until 1 p.m. for the following counties in our area, according to NWS-Wichita.

Ellsworth County

Lincoln County

Marion County

McPherson County

Saline County

A line of showers and storms with moderate rainfall will move slowly eastward across the region this morning, and shift into far eastern Kansas by this afternoon. Ground soils are saturated for some locations over the region due to recent rainfall, and any additional rainfall could cause minor flooding problems. An additional 1 to 2 inches is possible.

Flooding of low-land, and flood prone, areas is likely, along with some modest rises on area rivers and streams.
