<br />4 <br /> <br />VI. RAINFALL DISTRIBUTION <br /> <br />Over 100 observers record daily rainfall totals during the grow- <br />ing season April through September each year. The rainfall reporters <br />are scattered throughout western and southwestern Kansas, By combining <br />these data and official National Weather Service precipitation obser- <br />vations we arrive at .the following respective analyses shown in Fig, 7 <br />and Fig. 8 <br /> <br />(1) the total rainfall for the four month May - August period <br /> <br />(2) the percentage departure from the long-term average rainfall <br /><1941 - 1970), <br /> <br />Fig. 7, the May - August precipitation totals, show rainfall <br />maximums running north - south from Wichita County into Kearny, Grant <br />and Haskell counties, then eastward into extreme eastern Ford County <br />where the WKWM Program maximum of 29.19 inches occurred, Low rainfall <br />values are seen in Wallace, Lane and Gray counties with the lowest <br />amount found in extreme western Hamilton County---climatologically, <br />"normal" for the summer. ' <br /> <br />The best visibility into the WKWM target area rainfall pattern is <br />seen in Fig, 8. Only in southwest Wallace County can a small portion <br />of below average precipitation can be found---7% below normal. Every- <br />where else in the target area was above normal. Highest rainfall <br />percentages were found in large parts of Kearny, Stanton, Grant, <br />Haskell and Ford counties where rainfall amounts 100% above normal, or <br />more, were reported, Rainfall was excessive in the southern and <br />southwestern portions of the target area this year. Standing water <br />could be seen for weeks in some areas. The greatest percentage above <br />normal was the 145% reported in extreme eastern Ford County. <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />0'. <br />
