Posted May 18, 2021 4:25 PM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The rainfall is starting to become a problem for the usual flood prone areas north and west of Hutchinson.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for areas along Cow Creek between Hutchinson and Nickerson.

Cow Creek is expected to rise just above flood stage on Wednesday morning and then fall back below that level by Thursday morning.

With the projected level, Sallee Road between 82nd and 108th will flood. 95th Avenue between Sallee and Dean Roads will likely become impassable. Many other township roads may also close due to high water.

Rain is in the forecast off and on for the next week, which could cause more flooding around the area.
