Flood Advisory

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

* WHERE...Southeastern Jewell County in north central Kansas... Eastern Mitchell County in north central Kansas...

* WHEN...Until 900 PM CDT Thursday.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 1159 AM CDT, various rainfall observations, automated river gauges, and ground-truth reports from observers indicated that at least 3 to 6 inches of rain had fallen within the area mainly over the last 24 to 48 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 Solomon River. As a result, the Solomon River itself remains in separate Flood Warnings.
