...FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 730 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...Along the Little Blue River in East Central Nuckolls County
  in south central Nebraska and Central Thayer County in south
  central Nebraska...

* WHEN...Until 730 PM CDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
  and flood-prone locations is occurring.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 1031 AM CDT, As of 945 AM CDT Friday, the gauge along the
    Little Blue River north of Deshler was at 16.5 feet, which was
    just above minor flood stage of 16.0 feet. Meanwhile, at 1015 AM
    CDT the gauge at Hebron reported a stage of 13.5 feet, which was
    right at minor flood stage. As a result, minor, lowland flooding
    continues along the immediate reach of the Little Blue River from
    east-central Nuckolls County downstream across all of Thayer
    County. Based on trends over the last 12 hours, the river is
    expected to continue a very slow, gradual fall through the rest
    of today, and the gauges near Deshler and Hebron could slip
    slightly below flood stage by sometime Friday evening. However,
    there is some uncertainty regarding how quickly water levels will
    drop, and it is possible that areas along the river especially
    east of Hebron to the Jefferson County line could continue to
    experience minor flooding through at least early Saturday.
  - This includes the following streams and drainages...
    Little Blue River.
  - Locations immediately along the Little Blue River across Thayer
    and far eastern Nuckolls counties.
