HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There is a lot of water in Rice County, but for right now, things are looking good in Hutchinson and Reno County.

Heavy rains have pushed water over some roads to the north, but Adam Weisharr with Reno County Emergency Management says, for now, they are simply waiting to see what happens with Cow Creek and the Big and Little Arkansas rivers. Cow Creek in Rice County is expected to rise near flood stage later tomorrow. Reno County remains under a flash flood watch with more rain in the forecast.

At last check, all three tributaries were running well below flood stage, although the rivers have been running a little quicker over the past week. The forecast calls for more rain over the next several days.
