Continued high dam releases, along with another period of very heavy rainfall in the middle of the month, pushed a small section of the lower Missouri River into flood late month. Three to eight inches of rainfall was common through the James and Vermillion River Basins between September 10 and 12, which flowed into the unrestricted Missouri River below Gavins Point Dam. Areas of the Missouri River below Ponca State Park were placed in a no-wake zone through the end of the month.
