According to the National Weather Service, very heavy rainfall is expected Monday afternoon through midday on Tuesday across central and eastern Kansas. Rainfall in excess of three inches is possible with locally higher amounts. This will result in significant rises on area rivers and creeks with some exceeding flood stage.
