After a glimmer of hope for much-needed moisture faded, the Hays area is expected to have another dry week ahead.
Hays received only about a tenth of an inch of rainfall over the weekend. And forecasts for more possible precipitation have dried up, the National Weather Service in Dodge City reported.
Scattered thunderstorms predicted in western Kansas are now expected to stay south of Ellis County, the NWS said.
Mostly sunny skies are now expected into the Labor Day weekend, with highs in the low- to mid-90s, dropping to the low-60s overnight.
