...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR SOUTHEASTERN SHERIDAN...GOVE AND
SOUTHWESTERN GRAHAM COUNTIES WILL EXPIRE AT 200 AM CDT...
The heavy rain has ended with light to moderate rainfall expected to
continue through the rest of the night. Therefore flash flooding is
no longer expected to pose a threat. However, with the large amount
of rain that has occurred across the area, it is expected that the
large amount of ponding water will be slow to recede. So will be
issuing an areal flood warning shortly. Please continue to heed any
remaining road closures.
