Heavy Rains Fall Over Parts of the Region
|
A slow moving upper level low pressure area, located over northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska at mid afternoon Wednesday - will continue wobbling into north central Kansas and south central Nebraska by midnight. By sunset Thursday, the center of this low pressure aloft, will be located over northeastern Kansas. Eventually this low pressure system will work into the middle Mississippi river valley.
The southern and central parts of Nebraska will continue at risk, for moderate to occasionally heavy rainfall for the next 24 to 36 hours. Due to increased releases on the North Platte River, upstream from Lake McConaughy , increased stream flows and rising river levels are expected into this weekend. On the North Platte river at Lewellen, river levels are expected to rise to near the flood stage of 7.5 feet by Saturday morning.
