Hail, wind, rain move through south-central Kansas Monday afternoon

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - It was another round of storms in south-central Kansas Monday afternoon. Strong winds, rain and hail were the main threat as the weather moved across Sedgwick, Harvey and Butler counties.

Rainfall at the 12 News studios measured 0.86 inches, according to Storm Team 12 Chief Meteorologist Ross Janssen. Others around the city of Wichita sent in rain gauge readings with totals of as much as 1.33 inches. Pea-sized hail also fell from the sky covering the ground in some areas.

LaChelle Shay sent a video of a trampoline that blew into a house on south Market street Monday afternoon as storms moved across the city.

Street flooding was reported near Murdock and Washington. Vehicles got stuck as water filled the streets just east of the intersection.

Both east and westbound lanes of traffic on Kellogg were reduced to two lanes while emergency crews responded to an accident during the torrential downpour. It’s unknown if the weather had a direct impact.

LaChelle Shay sent in two videos from south of downtown Wichita showing high winds blowing a trampoline across the street and into the front of her home. High winds even toppled some trees near the area of Morris and Water. Top wind speeds measured 58 mph at Eisenhower Airport and 67 mph in northwest Wichita.

Winds reached 50-60 mph in some parts of town Monday afternoon.

Despite the rain wind and hail, the Wichita Riverfest said the show would go for GospelFest. The concert, featuring Brent Jones, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and local artists, is set to take place from 6-9 p.m.
