Excessive rainfall in KC
Posted: (July 30, 2008 11:59 am)
 

The remnants of Hurricane Dolly produced excessive rainfall amounts overnight.  There have been water rescues, flooded basements, and road closures.  One of the driest areas this month has been over parts of south Overland Park, but not any longer (2.67" fell in one hour at Johnson County Executive Airport between midnight and 1 AM).  The center of the remains of Dolly were located right over Overland Park, KS, just west of the state line and drifting east, and now moving into western Missouri.  This is steadily weakening, but the rotation is still strong enough to have an area of rain, with embedded tropical downpours, drifting and rotating over the Kansas City metro area.  This will gradual end from northwest to southeast between now and early this afternoon but another 1/2 to 1 inch of rain could fall. Look below at the rainfall estimates from the National Weather Service for KC and its surrounding areas:

Here are some of the rainfall totals from around Kansas City:

  • 159th & Ridgeview, KS:  6.38"
  • Johnson County Executive Airport:  6.37"
  • 119th & State Line:  6.02"
  • Near Stadium complex, MO:  5.50"
  •  92nd Terrace & Holmes Road, KC, MO:  4.99"
  • Lee's Summit (North), MO:  4.82"
  • Kearney, MO:  4.75"
  • Prairie Village, KS:  4.60"
  • Grandview, MO:  4.57"
  • Grain Valley, MO:  3.95"
  • Olathe (131st & Black Bob), KS:  3.88"
  • Lee's Summit, MO:  3.52"
  • College & Pflumm, KS:  3.45"
  • Liberty, MO:  3.25"
  • Greenwood, MO:  3.00"
  • Oakshire Subdivision (near Powell Gardens), MO:  1.94"
  • Paola, KS:  1.79"
  • I-29 & 64th, MO:  1.38"
  • Shawnee, KS:  1.33"
  • KCI Airport, MO:  0.96"

    The remnants of Dolly will continue to weaken, but she may still dump up 1/2 to an inch in some spots today. The cloud cover will stick around the area, so temeratures will likely be in the upper 70's to low 80's around the area.

    The rainfall total where I live in Marceline, MO was 1.8 inches.
