Moisture plume from the Southwest United States spread northeast towards the plains and interacted with a stationary boundary to produce a deluge of rainfall across Central and South Central Kansas. Rainfall amounts were generally around 5 inches, however isolated amounts reached up to 11.00 inches on the West side of Wichita, Kansas. Wichita Mid Continent Airport reported the greatest 24 rainfall total (10.31 inches) in its history.
