was continuing due to snowmelt and earlier heavy rain. The flooding
was reported at several locations, including the Lincoln Lakes area

road. River gauges along Salt Creek indicate that the creek
continues to rise, though more slowly than Wednesday night

move to higher ground immediately. Residents living along creeks and
streams should take immediate precautions to protect life and

(6:14 a.m. Thursday announcement)
The National Weather Service in Lincoln has also issued a small
stream flood advisory for eastern Logan County and southwestern
DeWitt County until 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
The combination of heavy rainfall over the past several days and
rapid melting of snow has led to significant rises at Clinton Lake.
This may lead to significant rises along Salt Creek due to water
being released from the dam site
Locations affected include Clinton, Beason, Chestnut, Kenney,
Hallsville, Midland City, Rowell and Weldon Springs State Park.
A flood advisory means river or stream flows are elevated or
ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is
imminent.

nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather
Service.
