- At 420 PM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
that thunderstorms earlier today dumped a fairly widespread 1.5
to 3 inches of rain across much of the Advisory area. Rain has
since ended across the vast majority of the area, but minor
flooding likely continues as a result of continued runoff.
Fortunately, very little additional rain is expected through the
rest of this afternoon into early evening, which should allow
excessive runoff to continue receding. However, additional heavy
rain is possible this evening and overnight, which could cause
additional or renewed flooding issues. A Flood Watch is in effect
for the area through 7 AM Sunday morning.
- This includes the following streams and drainages...
Flat Creek, Wood River, Prairie Creek, Silver Creek, Beaver
Creek, Lincoln Creek, North Channel Platte River, Moores Creek,
and Box Elder Creek.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Wood River, Shelton, Doniphan and Alda.
