...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM CDT WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...West Central Greeley County in central Nebraska...
  Southeastern Valley County in central Nebraska...

* WHEN...Until 1000 AM CDT Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of area creeks, streams, and other low-lying and
  flood-prone locations continues, particularly along the Mira Creek
  in and near North Loup.  Although excess water continues to
  gradually recede, it could take several more hours for the Mira
  Creek to drop back below its minor flood stage.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 500 PM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
    that as much as 3 to 5.5 inches of rain fell Monday night into
    early Tuesday morning, causing mainly minor flooding issues in
    various locations, including water possibly still covering some
    rural gravel or dirt roads. Fortunately, no additional rain is
    expected until early Wednesday morning, but there is small chance
    for amounts of at least 1 inch.
  - This includes the following streams and drainages...
    Mira Creek, North Branch Mira Creek, South Branch Mira Creek.
  - Some locations that could experience flooding include...
    North Loup.
  - As of 445 PM CDT, an automated gauge along the Mira Creek near
    North Loup reported a stage of 9.59 feet, slightly above the
    minor flood stage of 9 feet. However, the creek appears to be
    cresting and starting to very slowly fall. At a stage of 9 feet,
    minor flooding occurs, with water spilling into fields and
    low-lying areas.
