* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...Southeastern York County in east central Nebraska...
Northwestern Fillmore County in south central Nebraska...

* WHEN...Until 700 PM CDT Friday.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 254 PM CDT, automated river gauges and ground-truth reports
from observers indicated that minor flooding continued along the
West Fork Big Blue River, as a result of heavy rainfall over the
last few days. At 2 PM CDT, an automated gauge north of Grafton
reported a stage of 13.1, which was 2.1 feet above minor flood
stage of 11.0 feet. As a result, widespread flooding of pastures
and fields along the river continues, as confirmed by an observer
in the McCool Junction area. It is likely that water levels along
the West Fork Big Blue River will remain in minor flood stage
until at least sometime Friday or Friday night before very
gradually dropping below flood stage, but exact timing is a bit
uncertain as upstream water continues to feed into the river from
smaller creeks.
- This includes the following streams and drainages...
Elk Run Creek, Stone Creek, Antelope Creek, West Fork Big Blue
River, School Creek and Galaway Creek.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
McCool Junction, and rural areas along the West Fork Big Blue
River both upstream and downstream of McCool Junction.
