The National Weather Service in Wichita has issued a flood watch in effect from 10 p.m. Thursday through Friday morning that includes Marion County.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
Most of the watch area is already saturated from previous rain. Additional rainfall tonight could lead to new flooding concerns. Areas that see heavy rain in a short amount of time could see localized flash flooding.
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.
