NWS Says Flash Flooding Possible With Expected Rainfall

OMAHA- The National Weather Service has issued flash flood watches and is forecasting heavy rain for parts of eastern Nebraska.

The service says a slow-moving cold front will trigger thunderstorms and deluges. Up to 5 inches is expected Monday evening through early Wednesday along a corridor from Platte County east through Iowa. The service says up to 2 inches is possible elsewhere in the two states. The coming storms follow heavy rain over the weekend in much of the same area. The service also says there’s a marginal risk of severe weather on Monday across most of Nebraska.

Flood warnings continue along the Missouri River south of Tekamah.
