* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– At 354 PM CDT, gauges along area creeks within the Warning
area continued to report near-bankfull to minor flooding
conditions, although the situation continues to gradually
lower/improve with time as runoff continues to work
downstream. As of 345 PM CDT Saturday, the Silver Creek gauge
near Silver Creek was at 9.3 feet and slowly falling, but
still slightly above minor flood stage of 9 feet. Meanwhile,
the nearby Prairie Creek gauge had already fallen below minor
flood stage of 9 feet, but was still near-bankfull at 8.1
feet. Finally, the gauge along Clear Creek in far
northeastern Polk County was starting to level off around 7
feet, but this was only slightly below minor flood stage of
7.5 feet.

Despite the overall-improving conditions, this Warning has
been extended into Sunday to cover what is hopefully the last
of lingering minor flooding issues.
