...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING... * 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.

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. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. &&
