- At 405 PM CDT, automated river gauges indicated that minor
flooding continued along the Solomon River in the Glen Elder
area, as a result of heavy rainfall over the last few days. As of
330 PM CDT, an automated gauge near Glen Elder reported a stage
of 22.9 feet, which was 1.9 feet above minor flood stage of 21.0
feet. The river level continues to very slowly fall, but it will
likely be at least sometime Friday morning before it slips below
flood stage. However, exact timing is a bit uncertain as upstream
water continues to feed into the river from smaller creeks in
Jewell County.
- This includes the following streams and drainages...
Little Walnut Creek, Elm Creek, Solomon River, Ash Creek, Frog
Creek, Browns Creek, Limestone Creek, West Limestone Creek,
Granite Creek, Disappointment Creek and Turkey Creek.
- Some locations that could experience flooding include...
Glen Elder and Ionia, but this Warning is mainly geared toward
minor flooding along the Solomon River in the Glen Elder area.
