- Showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity through the evening hours. Cumulative rainfall totals of mainly 2-4 inches are expected with higher localized amounts of 4-7 inches possible. Some uncertainty still exists with northern extent of the heavy rain, but latest model trends suggest the greatest risk for the high end rain amounts will be southeast of a line from Holdrege to Doniphan to Osceola. Although some areas will not experience flooding, scattered instances of flooding and even considerable flash flooding are possible due to training thunderstorms, especially across areas still saturated from heavy rainfall last week. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
