Description:
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of north central Kansas, including the following
counties, Jewell, Mitchell, Osborne and Smith and south central
Nebraska, including the following counties, Nuckolls and Thayer.
* WHEN...From 1 PM CDT this afternoon through this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Portions of the Watch area have seen at least 2-4 inches of rain
in the last 24 hours, with some flooding still in progress. While
periods of steady light to moderate rain this morning could slow
the improvement of flooding issues from prior rainfall, there is
also concern that an additional round of scattered heavy rain
from thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening could drop
another 1-2 inches of rain in a short time over parts (not all)
of the Watch area. This could cause new flooding issues for some
areas, and/or worsen existing flooding problems for those areas
that have already endured heavy rain over the last 24 hours.
Fortunately, once any storms move out of the area this evening,
dry weather is then expected to prevail through at least late
Friday afternoon.
