Lawrence saw nearly three-quarters of an inch of rain on Wednesday, said Audra Hennecke of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

Between midnight and 10:30 p.m. around .74 inches fell over the area, Hennecke said. So far this month the city has seen 8.41 inches of rain.

“The normal amount for this far through the month is 3.9 inches, so we’re 4.51 inches above normal for the month,” Hennecke said.

Although more than twice the normal amount of precipitation has hit the area this July, Hennecke said it’s still several inches away from setting any records.

Despite a recent abundance of rainfall, the rest of the week and into the weekend will likely be rain-free and less hot than it has been, Hennecke said.

“We’re looking to be mostly dry Thursday and Friday,” she said. “And the temps look to be fairly seasonal at about 90 degrees and slightly less humid than it has been.”
