The sky here is overcast today, raising our hopes for rain. With rain often comes lightning! Today's Severe Weather Awareness week topic is Lightning. Did you know: 2015-2019 the Total Lightning Density (CG + Cloud Pulses) per sq mi avg per year in KS ranged from 64-288?

[FHSU Geosciences @GeoFHSU]

Take a guess at what you think your state/county Lightning Density is. Then check out the map linked in the comments. Let us know if you are surprised by the data, or your guess was a flash of knowledge and you were within range!

[FHSU Geosciences @GeoFHSU]

Kansas can experience a wide variety of severe weather, including: tornadoes, high winds, hail, and flash flooding. Residents of Kansas are encouraged to use this week to look at their severe weather plans. Each day will be dedicated to a different type of severe weather event.
