A shift in the jet stream has brought nearly 23 inches of rain to the Lawrence area so far this year.
Rain replaces drought
By Deron Graul
Kansan staff writer
The unusually wet weather during the last few weeks has put an end to the drought conditions that accompany year according to area experts.
"The drought is definitely over." Joe Eagleman, professor of meteorology, said Monday. "Peoria floods instead of drought now."
Matt Foster, official observer for KU Weather Service, said Lawrence had received nearly 23 inches of rainfall this year compared to 12 inches through June 1989. Normal precipitation for the first six months of the year is about 18 inches.
Meteorologists say a shift in the jet stream is largely responsible for the rainfall in recent weeks.
The jet stream, a high altitude wind current, has been located farther south than it normally is at this time of year, said George Gayno, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Kansas City, Mo. The jet stream brings cold, dry Arctic air south where it combines with hot, humid air near the ground.
As the hot air rises, moisture condenses in the atmosphere forming clouds and, eventually, thunderstorms.
summer's jet stream was over southern Canada, thunderstorm conditions rarely existed last year. During most of this spring the jet stream was located over Oklahoma.
With the ending of the drought, last year's heat-ravaigned fields are expected to produce record crops this year.
T. J.拜勒, a statistician for the Kansas Agricultural Statistics Office, said this year's wheat crop should produce a record 400.2 million bushel harvest. Last year's harvest was 302.4 million bushels.
Gayno said that because last
Brian Morray, county executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said that some recently planted crops had been washed away or drowned by the rains and that planting of other crops had been delavled.
The rains have not been good news for all farmers, though.
"Some folks have changed their planting plans and are three to four weeks behind schedule," he said.
Clinton Lake was nearly seven feet above its normal level on Monday, a corps of Engineers employee said.
Area lakes and rivers also have been affected by the unusually heavy rainfall.
Richard Rucker, a park ranger at Perry Lake, said that Perry was about three feet higher than normal and that the Corps was releasing enough water to drop the level of the lake by one foot per day, which translates to more than 5 billion gallons a day.
Tuttle Creek Reservoir, near Manhattan, is 20 feet higher than its usual level, said Greg Wurst, park manager. The park began construction last year after farmers upstream complained their fields were flooding.
"Then we had people downstream complaining that they were being flooded," he said.
Parkworkers have had to adjust the flow several times trying to satisfy everyone, he said.
The water coming out of Tuttle Creek largely is responsible for the swollen state of the Kansas River, Wurst said.
The Kansas River is 10.8 feet deep at Lecompton, seven feet above its normal level of 3.75 feet, Rucker said. However, water is still six feet below the bank, which worries about flooding, he said.
According to the National Weather Service's long-range forecasts, Kansas weather should follow normal summer patterns.
Creamer campaigns from jail

"People consider me the candidate," Creamer said.
mark Creamer, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, said the biggest obstacle his campaign faced was that people believed he was a one-issue candidate.
Creamer, in jail for possession of marijuana, is running against Rep Jim Kan, in November.
Creamer was arrested for smoking a marijuana cigarette Sept. 5, 1989 in
Creamer
the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center. He said he was protesting President Bush's war on drugs.
Creamer advocates the legalization of marijuana.
Creamer said he was an environmentalist who supported the use of hemp in paper production as an alternative to trees. He also advocates hemp seeds as a source of protein and fuel.
The whole hemp thing is a controversial issue," he said. "As far as support for it, we're not making much headway."
But Creamer said he stood for issues in addition to hemp. His main concern now was to put out a position that would ignore his ignores his other stands, he said.
ucts. The disposal cost of a product should be added to its price, he said.
Creamer said he supported a deposit fee for all packaging prod-
"I feel we should pay a little extra upfront." Creamer said. "When things are finally able to carry their load, we can reduce the basic cost."
He said he also supports the pro-choice movement, prison reforms and a harsh penalty for crimes with victims.
He said he would look for support from young people, women and low income citizens.
"I was a single parent with three children for five years," he said. "I was on wafeline at one time. So it's right to elect me because I have experience with me people, poverty and youth."
young Creamer said his advantage was that he was not really a politician.
