- At 922 AM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
that heavy rain fell earlier this morning from thunderstorms.
Flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in the warned
area. Between 1 and 3 inches of rain fell from heavy
thunderstorms earlier this morning, with Jewell County emergency
management reporting several unpaved rural roads closed due to
flooding, washed-out shoulders and standing water. Although only
light rain is falling now, additional moderate to at-times heavy
rain will occur over the course of today into tonight, with the
potential for another 2-4 inches of rain within the area. Should
additional heavy rain develop, this could obviously cause
flooding issues to worsen, including the possibility of more
urgent flash flooding concerns.

Limestone Creek, West Marsh Creek, Spring Creek, West Limestone
Creek, Porcupine Creek, Middle Limestone Creek, Browns Creek,
East Fork Big Timber Creek, West Buffalo Creek, Middle Buffalo
Creek, Elm Creek, Johns Creek, Little Oak Creek, East Marsh
Creek, Ash Creek, Buffalo Creek, Dry Creek, Granite Creek, Oak
