* 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. Given the recent trends indicating a substantial slowdown
of increasing water levels, we suspect that the water levels may
be soon to crest tonight. 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 dropping
back below flood stage.
- This includes the following streams and drainages...
West Fork Big Blue River, Turkey Creek, Little Sandy Creek,
Beaver Creek, Big Sandy Creek, Pawnee Creek, School Creek, Sleepy
Hollow Creek, Scott Creek, Buffalo Creek, Johnson Creek, Walnut
Creek, South Fork Turkey Creek, Galaway Creek, Stone Creek, Dry
Sandy Creek, Dove Creek, Little Blue River, Thirtytwo Mile Creek,
Dry Run Creek, Liberty Creek and Oak 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.
