359 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

FLOOD WATCH until this evening. Conditions across the area are primed for flooding potential due to lingering snow pack with 1 to 2 inches or more of water continuing to melt and mostly frozen grounds unable to absorb existing water. River forecasts include observed precipitation, as well as expected precipitation over the next 48 hours. At this time there is limited confidence associated with rainfall amounts and the location of predicted rainfall. If rainfall in the basin is less than predicted, the forecast river stage may not be reached. Conversely, if rainfall is more than predicted the river may crest higher. As the forecast becomes more certain, this watch will be either upgraded to a Flood Warning or canceled.

The Flood Watch continues for The East Nishnabotna River near Atlantic, or From Troublesome Creek near Atlantic…to Indian Creek near Lewis.
