In east central Nebraska, Polk and York. In south central Nebraska, Adams, Buffalo, Clay, Dawson, Fillmore, Franklin, Furnas, Gosper, Hall, Hamilton, Harlan, Kearney and Phelps. * WHEN...Through 1 PM Tuesday afternoon. * 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... - Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will affect much of central and south central Nebraska overnight, with one final round of storms expected to track across the area from west- to-east mainly between 9 AM and 1 PM Tuesday. While total rainfall amounts will surely vary considerably across the area, confidence is increasing in amounts between 1 and 3 inches most places, with perhaps as much as 3 to 5 inches possible in a narrow swath or two if storms continue training over the same areas. Please note the exact location of any such narrow swaths are still somewhat uncertain. However, given the likelihood for very heavy rain in parts of the area, along with the fact that some of it could fall in a short time, this Watch remains in effect. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
