At 5:43 a.m. CDT, Doppler radar indicated an area of rain with embedded thunderstorms that continued to affect the warned area. Though the rainfall will end by mid-morning, excess runoff may result in minor lowland flooding.
Additionally, NWS in Topeka has issued an urban and small stream flood advisory in effect until 7:45 a.m. Wednesday for Republic and Cloud counties.
At 4:49 a.m. CDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to thunderstorms. This will cause urban and small stream flooding in the advisory area. Up to two inches of rain have already fallen.

At 3:29 a.m. CDT, an automated rain gauge in Hunter reported just over 2 and a half inches of rainfall since midnight CDT. Additional rainfall is expected across portions of north central Kansas through 8 a.m. CDT, with widespread rainfall accumulations of one to three inches expected across the advised area. Isolated rainfall totals of 4 to 5 inches will be possible. This will result in low land flooding, rises in small streams and creeks, and flooding of poor drainage areas.
