- At 403 PM CDT, various rainfall observations, automated river
gauges, and ground-truth reports from observers indicated that at
least 3 to 6 inches of rain had fallen within the area mainly
over the last two days, resulting in continued minor flooding
along some area creeks, rivers, and some rural roads. In most
places, water levels have began to and should continue to slowly

the Solomon River remain in a Flood Warning through Friday
evening.

Asher Creek, East Marsh Creek, Little Cheyenne Creek, Fifth
