[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3237020, member: 4319"] I guess they are trying not to panic people? But how's that going to work out when they have to crank the gates up another foot or two on the day they said they'd be starting to slowly close them? People are going to freak out and never trust them again. If they do now. I also understand the whole "we're hydrologists, we work off readings and gauges and not made up voodoo weather forecasts from the NWS that may not pan out. We adjust based on our gauges" but dang, it's not like those dude's don't know what's coming. 3:00 pm today from NWS Wichita. And they say releases won't increase. Insanity. [B] A heightened [URL='https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=flash flood']flash flood[/URL] risk may develop this evening through the overnight hours as multiple rounds of thunderstorms move over the same general area. There is still some uncertainty regarding the convective evolution, but given the recent rains, wet soils, and high [URL='https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=moisture']moisture[/URL] content, the potential of very efficient [URL='https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=rainfall']rainfall[/URL] exists.
