Flood Advisory

* WHAT...Flooding caused by earlier excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Northern Jewell County in north central Kansas... Nuckolls County in south central Nebraska... Thayer County in south central Nebraska...

* WHEN...Until 900 PM CDT Thursday.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 1152 AM CDT, various rainfall observations, automated river gauges, and ground-truth reports from observers indicated that at least 3 to 5 inches of rain had fallen within the area mainly over the last 24 hours, resulting in continued minor flooding along area creeks and rivers, and some rural roads. In most places, water levels should continue to very slowly recede through the rest of today, as water increasingly drains into more mainstem rivers such as the Republican River and Little Blue River. Portions of these rivers, along with the Big Sandy Creek in northern Thayer County, are actually covered by separate Flood Warnings at this time.
