Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDuring the early to mid morning hours on this Wednesday, a persistent area of showers and thunderstorms dumped very heavy rainfall across parts of North Central Kansas, resulting in fairly widespread flooding. Per gauge readings, the heaviest rain of at least 2-5 inches targeted southern Smith, northeast Osborne, and much of Mitchell Counties. This heavy rain event was driven by a 25-35 knot low level jet impinging upon a very moist airmass featuring precipitatable water values around 2 inches. With most of this rain inundating the North Fork Solomon River basin, flooding was imminent, and the North Fork Solomon at Portis rapidly rose to over 7 feet above flood stage by the noon hour. Elsewhere in the area, water was reported over Highway 24 near Glen Elder for a short time, and a road near Harlan in far southern Smith County was washed out along a 60-foot wide stretch, with water 20-feet deep. This prevented a rural Harlan family from returning home that day, with one of the residents reporting storm total rainfall in excess of 7 inches.
