An intense low pressure system lifted out of the desert southwest and moved into the High Plains on the weekend of December 12th. This storm system pulled rich Gulf moisture into the Plains causing rare December flooding for much of central and eastern Kansas. In addition, this storm also brought heavy snow to parts of western Kansas.
