"Rivers and streams will almost certainly flood, some at major flood stage, if the forecast amounts verify," said News On 6 meteorologist Crone said. "This would result in river flooding of the Illinois, Poteau, and Kiamichi Rivers. Other smaller streams and rivers will also flood.

"Please remain aware of low water crossings and flood-prone areas during the next 60 hours and make efforts to move to high ground."
