...FLOOD WATCH IS CANCELLED...

The Flood Watch is cancelled for the Wind River Basin, Bighorn 
Basin, Powder River Basin, Natrona County, and the surrounding 
mountains and foothills east of the Continental Divide in 
north-central and central Wyoming.

The weather system overnight into this morning brought rainfall 
totals of 1 to 2 inches for many areas. The light to moderate 
rainfall rates and healthy vegetation seemed to mitigate most 
higher-end impacts; however, some areas did experience ponding of 
water and minor creek flooding, and Casper did have higher-end 
flooding due to thunderstorms last evening. Moderate rainfall has 
now ended for the region, with light rain showers lingering for the 
Powder River Basin this afternoon. The potential for widespread 
ponding of water and flood issues is no longer expected; therefore, 
the Flood Watch is canceled.
