Wichita, KS – Scattered showers have begun to develop over central and south-central Kansas this morning, with the potential for heavy rainfall and small hail. The National Weather Service issued an advisory, warning of isolated to widely scattered showers across several areas, including Wichita, Great Bend, Hutchinson, and Emporia.
According to the National Weather Service, the showers are expected to continue until 6 a.m. While severe weather is not anticipated, localized heavy rain and very small hail remain possible. Affected areas are likely to see brief, intense rainfalls, which could impact travel conditions and outdoor activities.
Residents are advised to stay alert as conditions may change quickly, particularly in rural and less-populated areas where the rain is expected to be heavier. Drivers should exercise caution on wet roads, especially in areas with reduced visibility or slick surfaces due to rainfall accumulation.
