The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for the Spring River, which on Tuesday was at about 30 feet, or 19 feet above flood stage. The weather service says the river’s expected to fall below flood stage by Wednesday afternoon, but water was expected to hit more area highways.

A few bridges over the Spring River in southeast Kansas and southwest Kansas were closed because of the high water. Cherokee County officials also said Tuesday that several county roads are closed because of the flooding. Earlier, heavy winds and rain late Sunday also caused a passenger plane to run off the taxiway at the Wichita airport. No injuries were reported.
