Power Pacific system will continue to bring significant impacts for Pacific Northwest into northern California the remainder of the week. Dangerous coastal affects, heavy rain, flooding, strong winds, and higher elevation mountain snow continues. Meanwhile, a storm across the east is set to bring the first accumulating snow to many higher elevations of the Catskills into the central Appalachians. Read More >
2014 NORTH CENTRAL KANSAS
NWS COOPERATIVE OBSERVER PRECIPITATION
(for 6 counties in the NWS Hastings coverage area)
(see bottom tables for winter 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasonal snowfall)
* The highest reported amount for the month indicated in BLUE, the lowest amount in RED.
According to 30-year data from NCDC 1981-2010, normal annual precipitation across this six-county area generally ranges from 24-27", with the highest amounts favoring the eastern counties of Jewell and Mitchell.
2014 North Central Kansas Precipitation Summary: Although this 6-county area was not NEARLY as dry during 2014 as it was a few years during the notable drought of 2012, the majority of the area tended to fall at least a few inches short of the 30-year average/normal annual precipitation. That being said, there was also quite a bit of localized variability, even within the same county. Overall though, the majority of locations measured somewhere between 21-26", or generally between 80-100% of normal annual precipitation. As for extremes, the driest NWS cooperative observer site within the area during 2014 was Phillipsburg with only 18.24" (7.18" below normal), while the wettest site was Mankato with 31.20" (3.21" above normal).
