Major flooding continued on parts of the Mississippi River through the month of June. The region remained stuck in a long-term wet pattern that continued through the spring and into early summer. Most locations were 1 to 2 inches above normal for the month of June. Some locations saw as much as 3 to 5 inches more rainfall than normal in June. Heavy rain in the upper parts of the Midwest sent another flood wave toward the middle part of the Mississippi, and another crest occurred around the 11th.
