FINALLY! Dorchester Area Receives More Than 1 Inch Of Rain


The rain came.  Finally.

We at the Times were a week late with our prediction -- but even our now-jobless grass eating dogs knew that sooner or later the skies had to open.  (Rest assured, we have hired grass eating cats to recalibrate our high-tech weather forecasting capabilities.)

Here is a look at the rainfall totals in the Saline County area following last night's precipitation:

Western -- 2.19"
Wilber -- 2.09"
DeWitt -- 1.82"
Tobias -- 1.46"
Milford -- 1.42"
Dorchester -- 1.14"
Friend -- 0.93"

For the record, Dorchester's last rainfall over 0.25" came on June 14.

The weekend forecast calls for mostly sunny conditions, with highs around the 77-80 degrees through Monday.

  1. My allergies might even subside for a day or two now that the millions of dust/pollen/pollution particles aren't hanging in the air.
