NWS: Chance for rain improves later in the week

Posted Oct 20, 2020 2:06 PM

While the chance for rain is slim this evening across the area, our chance for precipitation improves later in the week.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Wichita, chances for showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase tonight across northern Oklahoma, and perhaps into far southern and southeast Kansas. Very small hail and brief heavy rain may accompany the strongest activity. The chances for our area are minimal.

But we do have a better chance on Thursday night as another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected. Small hail, gusty winds, and brief heavy rain may accompany the strongest activity, NWS noted. Localized rainfall amounts of one-quarter to one-half inch are possible, the weather service added.
