<br />1997 WKWMP May ~ August <br /> <br />Total Precipitaion <br /> <br />] <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />Fig. 6 <br /> <br />over 21 inches for the four-month period. Other significant rainfall <br />maximums la.y in Sheridan and Sherman counties where respective <br />rainfall was over 17 inches and almost 16 inches, respectively. <br />Although rainfall data are few immediately east of our target area, <br />it appears rainfall may have been somewhat less just east of it. It <br />is doubtful this effect can be linked to seeding since hail damage <br />generally appears to be much lower in many of the central and <br />eastern counties of the state this season, with the exception of <br />Marshall. Most likely the less "apparent" rainfall is the result of <br />fewer storms. In any event it's clear there was more severe storm <br />activity in Western Kansas compared to most of the Central and <br />Eastern sections of the state. More storms generally translate into <br />more rainfall, but what the translation is in this case is unknown. <br /> <br />39 <br />
