* WHAT...Though the possibility for additional heavy rainfall is
unlikely across portions of the area north of the Kansas/Nebraska
state line, the ongoing concern for flooding continues for now.
* WHERE...Portions of north central Kansas, including the following
counties, Jewell, Mitchell, Osborne, Phillips, Rooks and Smith and
Nebraska, including the following counties, Adams, Clay, Fillmore,
Franklin, Nuckolls, Thayer, Webster and York.
* WHEN...Through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At least 2-6+" of rainfall have already fallen across the watch
area so far with potentially 0.5-1" more possible to still fall
for mainly a few north central Kansas areas. Though the threat
for heavy rainfall has come to an end for most of the Nebraska
portions of the watch area, the threat for flooding still
remains. Some areas, especially locations near low-lying/poor
drainage areas or along the banks of some rivers/creeks/streams,
could still see flooding. Even after precipitation comes to an
end, the threat for rising water levels to which some rivers or
streams exceed their banks remains.
