Rainfall Totals October 11-15

**Overview:**

An expansive low pressure system over the western United States resulted in widespread rainfall between 1 and 4 inches across south central Nebraska and north central Kansas from Saturday through Wednesday, October 11-15, 2008. Despite most areas seeing at least some rain on each of these days, the majority of rain fell during two rather distinct time periods: One from Sunday into Monday morning, and the other from Tuesday into Wednesday morning.

Below is a table showing total rainfall during this 5-day period for numerous sites across the Hastings National Weather Service County Warning Area. Unless otherwise noted, all data is from the NWS Cooperative Observer network.
