* WHEN...Until 100 PM CDT Sunday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 824 AM CDT, the gauge along the West Fork Big Blue River north
of Grafton was at 12.7 feet, which was above minor flood stage of
11.0 feet. As a result, fairly widespread flooding of pastures
and fields immediately adjacent to the river continues, including
downstream through the McCool Junction area. Based on trends at
the Grafton gauge, water levels appear to have crested and have
started a very slow, gradual drop that should continue over the
next few days. However, it now appears that the river will likely
remain above flood stage until at least sometime on Sunday,
prompting this Warning to be extended out farther in time.
- Flooding impacts will continue, but no additional rainfall is
expected.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
McCool Junction.
