How much rain did south-central Kansas get? Here are totals for Wichita, other spots
Some areas of Kansas saw heavy rains late Thursday and overnight Friday. Wichita saw a much lower amount than other areas of the state, with 0.64 inches falling since Thursday morning. About 0.16 inches of that fell since midnight. There were no reports of flooding in Wichita, which had been a concern in the forecast. One report near the area of the Ninnescah River that flows into Cheney Lake, where Wichita gets its water, saw 4.42 inches of rain during Thursday and Friday morning. 'That is definitely something of note,' said Scott Smith, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Wichita. Wichitans have had restrictions on water use during a drought. But levels at Cheney Lake have been rising because of recent rains. More rain is forecast Friday too. The effect of these rains on lake levels is not yet know. Cheney was 96.62% full at a measurement taken Monday. Here is a look at rainfall around the state on Thursday and overnight into Friday: A station in Butler County measured 3.65 inches of rain Thursday and then 0.42 inches since midnight Friday. A station 10 miles southwest of Hutchinson measured 2.34 inches of rain since midnight Friday and 0.04 inches on Thursday. There was some flooding in Rice County, Smith said. Quarter-sized hail was reported in Newton around 8:45 p.m. Thursday. So far this month, as measured at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, Wichita has had 3.86 inches of rain. Wichita has had 27.54 inches of rain so far this year compared to the normal 30-year running average of 20.64 inches, NWS data shows. Solve the daily Crossword

The 5 Most Interesting Analyst Questions From Viatris's Q1 Earnings Call
Viatris' first quarter results for 2025 were met with a positive market response, largely due to strong execution in its global branded portfolio and pipeline advancements, despite revenue coming in below consensus. Management highlighted robust growth in Europe and China, as well as progress in its portfolio of innovative medicines. CEO Scott Smith noted, 'We were particularly pleased with our strong execution and growth in Europe and China this quarter,' attributing operational revenue declines mainly to ongoing remediation at the Indore facility and competition in select generic products. Is now the time to buy VTRS? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $3.25 billion vs analyst estimates of $3.28 billion (11.2% year-on-year decline, 0.7% miss) Adjusted EPS: $0.50 vs analyst estimates of $0.49 (2.3% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $923.5 million vs analyst estimates of $903 million (28.4% margin, 2.3% beat) The company reconfirmed its revenue guidance for the full year of $13.75 billion at the midpoint Management raised its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to $2.23 at the midpoint, a 1.8% increase EBITDA guidance for the full year is $4.04 billion at the midpoint, in line with analyst expectations Operating Margin: -88.6%, down from 5.6% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $10.7 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Chris Schott (JPMorgan) asked about the sales ramp and infrastructure for fast-acting meloxicam and the company's ability to mitigate tariff impacts. CEO Scott Smith detailed ongoing U.S. manufacturing expansion and multiple mitigation strategies, while Chief Commercial Officer Corinne Le Goff emphasized the large addressable market for non-opioid pain treatments. Ashwani Verma (UBS) questioned whether Viatris could increase share repurchases beyond current guidance. CEO Scott Smith indicated the company intends to maintain flexibility, potentially exceeding $650 million in buybacks, depending on macro volatility and tariff developments. David Amsellem (Piper Sandler) probed the timeline for Indore facility remediation and the status of another Indian site. Smith confirmed that re-inspection for Indore is targeted mid-year and that all commitments for the Nashik facility have been met, with ongoing dialogue with the FDA. Bhavin Patel (Bank of America) sought clarity on brand versus generic trends and the sustainability of core business growth. CFO Doretta Mistras pointed to brand strength in China and Europe and indicated that generics outside of Indore are performing in line with expectations. Umer Raffat (Evercore) asked about the safety and use case for fast-acting meloxicam, specifically bleeding risks and hospital versus outpatient use. Chief R&D Officer Philippe Martin reported no increased bleeding risk in studies and highlighted broad potential for both hospital and outpatient use. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will closely watch (1) regulatory progress and launch timelines for fast-acting meloxicam, XULANE LO, and other key pipeline assets, (2) the resolution of manufacturing challenges at the Indore and Nashik sites, and (3) the company's ability to offset potential tariff headwinds through supply chain adjustments. Execution on new product launches and cost-saving initiatives will be critical markers of operational success. Viatris currently trades at $9.12, up from $8.59 just before the earnings. Is the company at an inflection point that warrants a buy or sell? See for yourself in our full research report (it's free). Market indices reached historic highs following Donald Trump's presidential victory in November 2024, but the outlook for 2025 is clouded by new trade policies that could impact business confidence and growth.
