UPDATES with Bismarck record; flood warning continuing; Eds: APNewsNow.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) The Bismarck area and other parts of central North Dakota are under a flood warning after record rainfall and street flooding.

The National Weather Service says Bismarck got 3.2 inches of rain Monday, topping the mark of just over 3 inches set on the same date in 1953.

The weather service has issued a flood warning for Burleigh County, eastern Morton County and northern Kidder County until 1 a.m. Wednesday.

Rainfall amounts reported in Burleigh and Morton counties range from 5 inches to 7 inches, and street flooding Monday night in Bismarck and Mandan led to a no travel advisory.

Weather service forecaster Joshua Scheck said showers and thunderstorms could continue through most of the week.
