Solomon River At Beloit affecting Mitchell County.
* WHAT...Minor flooding is occurring and minor flooding is forecast.
* WHERE...Solomon River at Beloit.
* WHEN...Until Friday evening.
* IMPACTS...At 20.0 feet, Flooding occurs in the Beloit city park and fairgrounds. Rural lowlands outside of Beloit flood at 18 feet.

It is then forecast to begin slowly falling and slip below flood stage sometime Friday morning. However, based on a river gage slightly upstream near Glen Elder...which was also 2.8 feet above flood stage as of 830 AM CDT, it is possible that the current forecast for the crest and fall at the Beloit gage might not occur as quickly. - Flood stage is 20.0 feet. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
