A sprinkle of it at best, if you were outside you'd feel it or notice it on your windscreen. It was all east of me by a few miles. I saw no evidence of it at this station so it gets a zero from here.
11/14/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Again no rain. Freezing temps.

Later at 5:30 when I got up it was still mostly show with a little sprinkle of rain going on and two hundreths in the gauge. At 6:30am the sprinkle picked up to a reseptable drizzle but died out just before 7am. At the moment it's back to light sprinkle, Things are damp and there are small puddles on solid surfaces. and the gutters on our street have a small trickle going to the storm drains. Forecast says more could happen but radar says most of it is north of this station and headed away to the northeast. Unless something boils up to our southwest I think it's shot its wad as far as this station and the watershed is concerned. Lots of folks are getting seriously drenched not far away from the look of the radar just not much where we need it most as far as I can tell.
11/23/2014 7:00 AM 2.00 M M M M It started with lightning and thunder and suprizingly little rain around 3:30am yesterday morning. It kept up that way until about 12:30pm when the sky opened up and it poured rain. Hard enough that it was difficult to make out the house across the street, about thirty yards away. It kept that up for at least a half hour and then slacked a little but still came down pretty hard until around 2pm or so when it slowed to a sprinkle and pretty well stopped altogether about 5pm.

By 7AM it was sticking to elevated surfaces to an estimated depth of an 1/8 inch or so. What had accumulated in the top of the gauge melted out to 2 hundreths of an inch. At the time the road out front was wet and there was some water running in the gutter. Right now ,7:59 it is coming down thicker.

4/3/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M I've been gone since last Tuesday before dawn. I came back to find a scant hundreth but not enough to call it that. I can't see any evidence of rain so it didn't amount to much.
4/4/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
4/5/2015 7:00 AM 0.53 M M M M Crash of thunder about 10:40 last night. I don't recall if there was more to it. Rain had stopped by 6AM with the occasional sprinkle of raindrops still going on at 7AM. Radar says it's past us and headed east.
4/6/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M There was a smear of water in the gauge. Probably from right after yesterday's observation. No evidence of precip since then.

4/8/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No Precip noted.
4/9/2015 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M Had sprinkles about 12:30PM yesterday and off and on through the afternoon, very light stuff. Enough to dampen the roads but not run down the gutters. And then after 10PM lots of strum and drang but not a lot of rain. The yard doesn't look like rained hard at any point in time.

4/13/2015 7:00 AM 0.13 M M M M Started some time after midnight I think. At 3AM it was wet all over but not drenched with a light rain falling. Same at 5:30. Thunder off and on during all this. Light rain at 7am observation time.
4/14/2015 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Not much after observation at 7AM yesterday. No Precip during the day to speak of. Light sprinkle when I got up at 5:30AM today. At 7AM it is down to a feeble misting.
4/15/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Almost 0.02 but not enogh to call it. Misty on and off through the day, you'd collect it on your windshield as you drove around. Light Fog this morning.
4/16/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
4/17/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
4/18/2015 7:00 AM 0.54 M M M M Nice rain overall, looks like the watershed got a lot more than I did. Misty in the morning. Sprinkling nicely at noon and raining more so after lunch and settling back to a determined sprinkle at 5:30 on my way home. Petered out after that. No more measurable precip after dark.
4/19/2015 7:00 AM 0.16 M M M M After a trace from early in the day the Rain started about 7:20 PM and was fairly heavy for about 10 minutes and then slacked off to a nice gentle rain which tapered off and stoped about 8:30 PM.
4/20/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M Less than a hundreth of an inch in the gauge. Not sure where it came from but there it is, maybe from the heavy dew we had yestreday morning and also todays dew load.
4/21/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M At 5:50AM this morning there was a very short 5 minute sprinkle followed later at 6:10 with another shorter sprinkle. Nothing in the gauge.
4/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
4/23/2015 7:00 AM 1.45 M M M M I could hear thunder in the distance at 10PM. Not long after 11PM came lighting and thunder and rain hard enough to hear from my bed. Evidence this morning show flow patterns in the mud of my backyard indicating a good hard rain. Puddles in places out there. It didn't last all that long and I can't say if any more came along afterwards but it doesn't look like it. Hope it rained like that on the watershed.
4/24/2015 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M It had apparently rained some time between 11PM and 5:30AM and there was mist at 5:30AM when i got up. By 6AM at was raining lightly and kept that up off and on and is still raining lightly at 7AM.
4/25/2015 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Can't say when it rained at this station but at work four miles east of here it rained from around 10AM til mid afternoon off and on. No rain over night apparently.
4/26/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M No idea where that hundreth came from unless a heavy dew.
4/27/2015 7:00 AM 0.29 M M M M had first light sprinkle at 3:30PM yesterday, isolated drops widely scattered. At 4:46 it worked up to a denser sprinkle until it became a light drizzle. At about 8PM it worked up to a steady moderaste rain and water began to pool and run in our backyard. I had 0.08 inches of water in the gauge at 6:30PM and the rest came over the rest of the night. I was up at 2:45am and there was no rain at that time although the sky was still cloudy and the wind gusty. Same conditions at 5:30AM.
4/28/2015 7:00 AM 0.74 M M M M According to my wife it started to sprinkle shortly after I left for work at 7:45AM yesterday. This condition continued till about 10:30 when it began to rain with vigor and lasted about a half hour or so and returned to sprinkles afterwards. I was four miles east of this station where the rain started later and was still coming down strongly when i left work for lunch at noon. In the four miles home I drove out of the heavey rain and into a no rain situation at home four miles west of work. with an occasional sprinkle that afternoon we had 0.73 inches by night fall. When i got up at 5:30AM there was a sprinkle of fairly large d=rain drops that stopped within 15 minutes or so. we gained another .01 inches in the gauge over the night time. It looks like the water shed got a good soaking and the combined total in our lakes gained a percintage point or two and they now stand at 22% capacity.
4/29/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Very light sprinkles off and on thrugh parts of the day. While I was out driving over lunch time I collected water on my winshield. Didn't amount to much.
4/30/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted although there is a heavey dew out there this morning.
5/1/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
5/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted. Again.
5/3/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
5/4/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No Precip noted. Forecast says starting tomorrow some time we're supposed to get a week of rain. We'll see how that works out.
5/5/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted but radar shows it out at the west edge of the county and coming this way. One can hope.
5/6/2015 7:00 AM 1.95 M M M M Good long rain yesterday. Started shortly after 8AM and continued all day and most of the night. Varied from sprinkles to a down pour. Can't say when the heavy stuff came down as I was at work and remote from this station.
5/7/2015 7:00 AM 1.41 M M M M Lots of strum und drang last night. Rain started lightly at 7PM followed shortly at 7:12 with about five minuutes of Pea sized hail, not a lot but it was there. Rained harder but not torential and stopped for the most part by 7:30PM back to lght Drizzle. All that was accompanied by strong winds and gusts, treess swaying with vigor. Activity picked up at about 8:20 and rained moderatley with windy conditions until about 9:12 when there was once again high winds and strong gusts with hard rain coming down. Kept that up through 11PM when I was getting all the dogs in and out before bedding everybody down and it was still raining close to midnight. All this accompanied with thunder and lightening. Windy at the moment and no rain but more of the same in the forecast. Looks like the watershed got as much as 6 inches over most of that area. We had water running in the yard and gutters in the street and from past experince I can say there was floodin in some areas of town as the rain coming down exceeded the drainage systems ability to deal with the run off. This flooding clears up within an hour of the rain stopping.
5/8/2015 7:00 AM 1.97 M M M M Roughly speaking at about 4PM yesterday I got a call from wife to bring home some sandbags to ward off the flooding back yard and keep it from coming in the back door. She held it off with a barrier of towels and rugs. The water was at least ankle deep on the porch. We got almost two inches of rain in about an hour and a half. Streets were closed due to flooding and some cars were stalled by high water. The rain was over by the time I got home at 5:20PM. I had to use our portable sump pump to put all that water out of our back porch drain and subsequently the standing water in the backyard. Quite an event. Forecast says more of the same today and tomorrow.
5/9/2015 7:00 AM 0.55 M M M M Shortly after getting home from work around 5:20 the sky opened up and it rained pretty hard and the tapered off to a persistent drizzle increasing slightly from time to time. Large hail and a tornado in nearby counties. It calmed down locally before bedtime. At 6:20 this morning it started to rain again with thunder and lightening. I got drenched reading the gauge. Good deal of street flooding in town and the creeks were full to overflowing. Lake Wichita has been filled to the point of running over it's spill way. That's not saying much as it average depth is maybe six feet. Our lakes, Arrowhead, Kemp, and Kickapoo are slowly filling up but at last check were still less than half full when added together.
5/10/2015 7:00 AM 0.79 M M M M More good rain, Lakes are up but not full except lake Wichita which is over the spillway but that one is not a source of water for us. Yestreday morning at about 10AM we had a moderate rain start and that lasted about twenty minutes. At about 3:20 AM there was thunder and lightening to the SW and by 4:20 it was raining moderately shortly after that it rained with great enthusiasm and tapered off to a steady sdrizzle by 6AM and has stopped just before 7AM.
5/11/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Not sure where that came from, Possibly from the heavy dew. No Precip noted.
5/12/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted.
5/18/2015 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M No precip noted. Suspect water in gauge from heavy dew.
5/19/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M no precip noted. Lakes are up above 50% now.
5/20/2015 6:00 AM 3.32 M M M M Observation an hour early due to summer work schedule. Sorry about that. Big rain last night. I was sprinkling/misty in the morning around 7:20 and then waited till much later to open up. I seem to remember it really poured around 8-9pm, slacked of a bit and resumed. back to a drizzle at 10ish and then again opened up around midnight and after. At 5AM it was not precipitating beyond mistiness.
5/21/2015 7:00 AM 0.30 M M M M Can't say when it rained for sure but it was sprinkling at 5:20AM.
5/22/2015 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M A little more rain. It was sprinkling when I went out at 6AM this morning.
5/23/2015 7:00 AM 0.91 M M M M Good rain yesterday. Started just as I finished taking the measure of the gauge. It went from determined sprinkle to a good solid rain in just a few minutes. Kept it up in varying strength for two hours and left 0.62 inches in the gauge. It then paused until about 10:30AM and rained again after 11:40AM with a hard rain about 12:30 for a few minutes and them sporadicaly rained until close to 2PM. Maybe some in trace amounts after that. No sign of additional rain during the night.
5/24/2015 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M All that strum and drang last night and only a tenth in the gauge. Local rivers and creeks are near record flood stage and or lakes are full or will soon be full. We have had a lot of rain in the last two weeks.
5/25/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M I don't know where it came from, I don't recall any precip as such. Perhaps it's from the heavey dew out there.
5/26/2015 7:00 AM 0.42 M M M M Short sharp thunderstorm came through yesterday roughly 1PM to 2PM. started with strum und drang with moderate rain quickly building to a heavy rain which held for a good while before tapering off to moderate and then petering out altogether.
5/27/2015 7:00 AM 0.80 M M M M Two bouts of rain. First started around 5:15PM and lasted 45 minutes or so. Pretty heavy rain for a while and then tapered off. Some locations had pea to marble sized hail but I can't say if my station had any. Then about 7:30PM it tuned up and rained again with enthusiasm for 30 minutes or so and the tapered off to a drizzle for another half hour or so.
5/28/2015 6:00 AM 0.15 M M M M Woke up at 5AM today to the sound of thunder. It had been precipitating already but not much. Between 5AM and 5:30 or so it rained heavier but not a deluge.
5/29/2015 6:00 AM 1.44 M M M M My what a storm. Strum und Drang and buckets of water coming down. Didn't see any hail. So about 6PM yesterday it started to sprinkle with purpose. By 6:15 it was raining with intent and by 6:20 or so it was a downpour. It kept that up for an hour or so and then petered off to a steady moderate rain. About 10:30 it stopped pretty much. I don't think there was any more after that.
5/30/2015 7:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Storm came in late about 3:45AM with strum and drang and by 4:30 it had precipitaed some. Later about 6AM it rained a bit harder and then quit.
5/31/2015 7:00 AM 0.17 M M M M Late Again. Yesterday started with the north edge of the big storm that passed to the south of us left a trace after the 7AM observation and than stopped. Then about 8:15 AM it started to sprinkle and soon progressed to a steady moderate rain and kept that up till very near the end when it tapered off. It was all over by noon.
6/1/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M Ah finally sunshine and things are drying out. Not sure where the trace in gauge came from.
6/2/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No Precip noted.

6/13/2015 7:00 AM 4.04 M M M M Not sure when it started raining. There was lightening and thunder north of this station at 11PM last night, radar showed the same to the west. Much strum und drang at midnight and observed rain at 4AM, 4:45AM and it was over by 5:45. Must of rained like crazy between midnite and 4AM because the observed rain between 4AM and 5:45 was fairly moderate. And for that much rain our porch did not flood so evidently the storm drains kept up with the runoff.
6/14/2015 7:00 AM 0.72 M M M M Started to rain about noon but then I was 5 miles east of my station at the time so it probably started earlier at the gauge. kept it up for and hour or two. Enough that the Wichita River was out of it's bed, it was pretty full to start with, and there was water over FM 369 north of the Wichita River. I had 0.32 inches in the gauge at sunset. Over the afternoon and evening another strom moved in from New Mexico and some time after midnite, It was still sprinkling when I got up at 5:30 AM, rained another 0.40 inches.
6/15/2015 6:00 AM T M M M M Just a trace in the bottom of the gauge and there were widely scattered drops, I could feel them, when I checked the gauge at 6AM ( I have to be at work by 7am during the summer).
6/16/2015 6:15 AM 0.72 M M M M At about 3:30PM yester day afternoon I noticed it pouring rain were I work 4 miles east of my station. My wife at home tells that it started at this staion some time between 2:30 and 3PM. Note that my window is behind my desk and don't recall hearing thunder at work but my wife reports rolling thunder about 3:30 to 4PM. By 4:30 the rain at work had stopped pretty much and I left work at 6PM the rain had stopped with a few desultory drops still coming down. I stopped to get some pvc pipe inorder to enhance my sump pumping and got home at 7PM with another round of rain fast approaching. So I had enough enough time to feed the dogs and assymble the pipe (60 feet of it) and get that all set up as the rain started again. this second round of rain wasn't as hard as the earlier rain. It was still sprinkling lightly when I came in the house at 11PM. It was sprinkling lightly when I got up at 5AM. And stopped about 6AM just before I read the gauge. Now it's 6:30 and I have to get ready to go to work. Radar looks like we may get another round of rain coming but it doesn't look to exstensive at the moment.
6/17/2015 6:15 AM 0.04 M M M M Desultory rain/sprinkles in the mid afternoon. Later there were trace amounts coming down this morning while I took my measurement at 6:15AM
6/18/2015 6:10 AM 0.35 M M M M Rain started about 10AM at my work place four miles east of this station as TS Bill passed by yesterday. From then till late that evening it rained in a gentle manner at this station. Radar indicated it was coming down in buckets on the east side of town and in the counties to the east of us.
6/19/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted. Lakes are full and the rivers and creeks are at flood stage and dropping.

I was 6 miles east of here when it started and on the drive home I went through three localized showers. So the rain came in localized showers that moved through the area it appears.
7/5/2015 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No precip noted. Although a big isloted thunder storm came out of Oklahome and passed our town to the east. At least this station got no rain that I noticed. Nothing in the gauge.

7/7/2015 7:00 AM T M M M M Promises promises, Forecast for up to 4 inches of rain after midnight and we got diddly. No sign of Precip at 5am, ten minutes later a few sprinkles and then nothing until 6:45AM with a few more sprinkles.
7/8/2015 6:00 AM 1.06 M M M M About 7:30 or so the rain started out pretty heavy but not a down pour. That went on for perhaps 5 minutes or so and then settled down to a steady drizzle/sprinkle. This kept up all day and long into the evening variying from that down to not much at all. I had to report early because I have to be at work by 7AM.
7/9/2015 6:10 AM 0.01 M M M M No sign of Precip but there it is. I will say that when I was checking the gauge at 6:10AM there were scattered and random rain drops coming down.
7/10/2015 7:00 AM 1.08 M M M M I can't say for sure when the rain started perhaps as early as 9AM and peetered out around 4PM. I can say that by 10AM it was raining well and water was running in the gutters.
7/11/2015 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M Not sure where that came from. I don't recall any precip but there it is.
