United States Severe Weather Triggers Flood Warnings Across Kansas and Missouri
Ongoing United States severe weather across parts of the central and southern United States has triggered multiple flood warnings in Kansas and Missouri as well as a severe thunderstorm warning in Oklahoma and a flash flood warning in Arkansas.
Current Flood Warnings in Kansas
The Flood Warning continues for Salt Creek near Ada affecting Ottawa County in Kansas. Minor flooding is occurring and minor flooding is forecast until early Sunday morning. At 18.0 feet, minor low land flooding occurs along the Salt Creek. At 20.0 feet, 50th Road just south of the bridge over the Salt Creek floods. At 20.2 feet, Deck o [1]. The same warning also covers the Solomon River near Niles affecting Dickinson, Saline and Ottawa Counties. Minor flooding is occurring until just after midnight tonight. At 19.0 feet, water begins to overflow into the low portion of a cultivated field on the right bank, upstream, adjacent to the gage site. At 23.0 feet, rural overflow begins ar [2]. These conditions reflect the persistent effects of United States severe weather on river levels in the region, where impacts scale directly with the reported heights and extend through the specified durations without additional escalation beyond the outlined thresholds.
Missouri River Flooding Update
The Flood Warning continues for the 102 River at Rosendale affecting Andrew and Buchanan Counties in Missouri. Moderate flooding is occurring and moderate flooding is forecast until Saturday evening. At 13.0 feet, lowland agricultural flooding begins. At 18.0 feet, Sta [3]. The Flood Warning is cancelled for the 102 River at Maryville affecting Andrew and Nodaway Counties. This update isolates the active moderate flooding to the Rosendale location while confirming the end of the separate Maryville alert, limiting ongoing concerns to agricultural lowlands through Saturday evening based solely on the stated river stages and forecast period.

Severe Thunderstorm in Oklahoma
At 840 AM CDT, a severe thunderstorm was located 6 miles northeast of Darrouzett, or 20 miles north of Lipscomb, moving northeast at 35 mph. Hazard includes 60 mph wind gusts and quarter size hail as indicated by radar. Minor damage to roofs, siding, and trees is possible. Hail damage to vehicles is expected. Locations impacted include Darrouzett and Slapout [4]. These details underscore the immediate movement and hazards tied to the storm's path through Beaver County under the broader United States severe weather pattern.
Flash Flooding in Arkansas
At 835 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain continuing across the warned area in Montgomery County. Between 3 and 5 inches of rain has fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly. Hazard includes flash flooding caused by thunderstorms as shown on radar. Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas is the primary impact [5]. The rainfall totals and additional potential amounts directly drive the ongoing or imminent flash flooding conditions across the specified county features.
Broader Regional Impacts
These warnings reflect ongoing United States severe weather affecting multiple states in the central and southern U.S. Minor flooding continues on Salt Creek near Ada until early Sunday morning with the listed lowland and road impacts at specific heights. Minor flooding persists on the Solomon River near Niles until just after midnight with cultivated field overflow beginning at 19 feet. Moderate flooding on the 102 River at Rosendale extends until Saturday evening starting with lowland agricultural flooding at 13 feet. The severe thunderstorm near Darrouzett carries 60 mph wind gusts and quarter-size hail while moving northeast at 35 mph. Flash flooding in Montgomery County follows 3 to 5 inches of rain with 1 to 2 inches more possible [1][2][3][4][5]. The combination of river, thunderstorm, and flash flood alerts illustrates the distributed reach of the same weather system across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas without overlap or escalation beyond the individual source parameters.
What to watch next: Continued monitoring of the Salt Creek and Solomon River levels through early Sunday morning and just after midnight, the 102 River at Rosendale through Saturday evening, the severe thunderstorm movement through Darrouzett and Slapout, and flash flooding developments in Montgomery County after the reported rainfall amounts.
