* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations continues.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 1136 PM CDT, automated river gauges continue to indicate ongoing minor flooding along the West Fork Big Blue River, as a result of heavy rainfall over the last few days. As of 11:00PM CDT, an automated gauge north of Grafton reported a stage of 13.3, which was 2.3 feet above the minor flood stage of 11.0 feet.
