River flooding that began in May 2004 continued into June 2004.  Following is an edited write up from the Service Hydrologist:Major to near record flooding was reporting during the month, with many locations setting daily maximum flow records at least one time during the month. The month began with rather light precipitation.  Even though the precipitation was light, some stream levels were still high due to the high rainfall amounts in May.  June began with many locations at or near crest, or experiencing falling stream levels from crests in May.  The middle of the month brought additional moderate rainfall, with amounts generally of 1 to 2 inches.  This rainfall led to additional rises on some rivers.  For those rivers that were still above flood stage, the additional rain either slowed the fall or resulted in secondary crests.Stream flows began the month with all locations experiencing either much above normal conditions or daily record maximum flows.  The high stream flows were due to a combination of heavy rain and high stream flows in May across Northeast Iowa and Northwest Illinois.  Stream flows gradually fell through the 10th, when most locations were reporting above normal conditions.  Some locations reported either near normal or much above normal conditions.Stream flows then rose again on the 11th in response to locally heavy rains.  On the 11th, most locations stream flows that were either above or much above normal.  A few locations reported conditions that were near normal.Stream flows then gradually fell during the remainder of the month, except for the 14th, 17th, and 21st.  On those dates, locally heavy rainfall resulted in additional but short-lived rises in stream flows.  On those dates, stream flows were mostly above or much above normal.  A few locations reported conditions near normal.  In each of these three situations, however, stream flows began reverting back to their gradual fall by the next day.The month ended with stream flows that were either near or above normal.  About half the locations reported stream flows that were near normal, while the other half of the locations reported stream flows that were above normal.
