.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 349 AM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

Hydrologic concerns remain high in the wake of the departing
overnight system. MRMS radar precipitation estimates range from
1 inches to 3 inches across portions of Brown, Rock, Keya Paha,
Boyd, and Holt County. The highest amounts reported by AWOS gages
was 2.40 inches at Ainsworth and 2.00 inches at O'Neill. These
counties also had even heavier rainfall the previous night with
many areas receiving 2 to 4 inches with locally near 5 inches.
Since this summer, the water table has remained very high and the
Sandhills cannot absorb very much rainfall before runoff and
possible Flooding/Flash Flooding begins. Numerous Flash Flood
Warnings and Flood Advisories remain in effect across portions of
these counties. Some areas roads have reported water over them.
Refer to the latest statements for specific details for your area.

Regarding rivers, the rainfall center fell between the Niobrara
and Loup River Basins and within the Elkhorn River Basin.
Significant runoff is ongoing from minor tributaries into these
river basins. The Elkhorn river near Atkinson has just risen to
7.6 feet, which is above minor flood stage of 7.5 feet. A flood
advisory remain in effect for areas including the Elkhorn River
upstream and downstream of Atkinson. If further rises continue,
an areal Flood Warning may be necessary. It is also possible that
historic rainfall the past few days could push the Elkhorn River
downstream through Ewing to above flood stage as well. Persons
living along the Elkhorn River should check for the latest
forecasts and protect property if needed.
