Flood Warning issued October 2 at 12:24PM CDT until October 3 at 1:00PM CDT by NWS Hastings NE

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. * WHERE...Along the West Fork Big Blue River in Southeastern York County in east central Nebraska and Northwestern Fillmore County in south central Nebraska... * WHEN...Until 100 PM CDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations is occurring. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 1212 PM CDT, the gauge along the West Fork Big Blue River north of Grafton was at 13.0 feet, which was 2.0 feet above minor flood stage of 11.0 feet. As a result, fairly widespread flooding of pastures and fields immediately adjacent to the river continues, including downstream through the McCool Junction area to the Seward County line. Based on trends over the last several hours at the Grafton gauge, water levels appear to have crested and have started a very slow, gradual drop that should continue over the next few days. However, it now appears that the river will likely remain above flood stage until at least sometime Saturday, prompting this Warning to be extended out farther in time. - This includes the following streams and drainages... West Fork Big Blue River. - Some locations that could experience flooding include... McCool Junction, and rural areas along the West Fork Big Blue River both upstream and downstream of McCool Junction. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood…
