Event:
Flash Flood Warning
Urgency:
Immediate
Effective:
June 8, 2026 - 4:18pm
Expires:
June 8, 2026 - 8:15pm
Description:
At 618 PM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated that
thunderstorms dumped as much as 2-4 inches of heavy rain across much
of the Warning area earlier this afternoon. Flash flooding is already
occurring in some places as a result. Fortunately, rain is no longer
falling in the area, and no additional rain is expected until
possibly after 11 PM this evening, which if it occurs should not be
nearly as heavy as what already fell. In the meantime, at least minor
flooding and perhaps localized flash flooding will persist within the
Warning area for several more hours until extensive runoff from
earlier rain subsides.
HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by earlier thunderstorms.
SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.
IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
drainage and low-lying areas.
Some locations that could experience flash flooding include...
Beaver City, Wilsonville, Hendley and Hollinger.
This includes the following streams and drainages...
Sappa Creek, Timmons Creek, Republican River, Crum Creek, Honey
Creek and Beaver Creek.
Instruction:
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.
