  the following counties, in central Kansas, Barton, Ellsworth,
  Lincoln, McPherson, Rice, Russell and Saline. In south central
  Kansas, Harper, Harvey, Kingman, Reno, Sedgwick and Sumner.

* WHEN...From late tonight through Friday morning.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
  in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Several rounds of thunderstorms producing heavy rainfall are

feet of water will carry most vehicles away. Turn around, don't
drown.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
