Wyandotte County remains under a flash flood watch through 4 p.m. Friday, June 5, according to the National Weather Service.

A hydrology chart showed moderate flooding at Excelsior Springs, Mo., Mosby, Mo.; Valley City, Mo.; and Stranger Creek at Easton, Kan.

The chart also showed minor flooding at St. Joseph, Mo., Agency, Mo.; Sharps Station, Mo.; Platte City, Mo.; and Napoleon, Mo. The charts are produced by NOAA and USGS.

The major rivers in Wyandotte County are still below the flood stage.

Even a little rain, about an inch, could cause a flash flood because the ground is saturated, according to the National Weather Service.

The weather service advises motorists not to go through water in streets, but to turn around and find another route.
