The river is forecast to crest very near the flood stage of 9 feet late Monday evening through Tuesday morning. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding the peak crest forecast, as crests upstream of Orleans have fallen just short of expectations. The potential for additional rainfall Sunday evening and overnight also adds to the uncertainty. Those with interests along the Republican River in Harlan County upstream of Alma should keep a close eye on updated forecasts as a Flood Warning may become necessary over the next 24 to 36 hours. $$
