- At 1104 PM CDT, automated river gauges continue to indicate that
minor flooding is occurring along the Little Blue River as a
result of heavy rainfall over the last few days. At 10:15 PM CDT,
a gauge along the Little Blue River at Hebron reported a stage of
14.0 feet, which was 0.5 feet above the minor flood stage of 13.5
feet. As a result, minor flooding continues both upstream and
downstream of Hebron along the Little Blue River through Thayer
County. Since the river crested at 14.9 feet around 8AM Thursday
morning, water levels have continued to gradually fall. Though
water levels appear to be falling at the gauge site at Hebron,
water levels upstream at the gauge site near Deshler, however,
still continue to just barely rise. As of 10:45PM CDT, the
upstream gauge near Deshler rests at 16.4 feet, just barely into
the minor flood stage starting at 16 feet. It is uncertain how
much water is still left to collect upstream, though recent water
level increases have appeared to of substantially slowed. This
leads us to believe that water levels may be soon to crest
tonight. Minor flooding along the stretch of the Little Blue
river across Thayer and Nuckolls county will be expected to
continue on through the night and into a portion of the day
Friday.
