* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...A portion of Central Kansas, including the following
  county, Marion.

* WHEN...Until 945 AM CDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
  and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Streams
  continue to rise due to excess runoff from earlier rainfall.
  Low-water crossings are inundated with water and may not be
  passable. Expect many areas of slow moving or standing water. It
  will take several hours for all the water from these storms to
  work through local drainage systems in urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

    thunderstorms. Flooding is ongoing or expected to begin
    shortly in the warned area.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Do not drive into flooded areas or go around barricades. Nearly two
feet of water will carry most vehicles away. Turn around, don`t
drown.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
