Several rivers that had risen above flood stage in late June fell back in early to mid July. Floodwaters from the Missouri River finally made it down the Mississippi River, resulting in crests with minor to moderate flooding early in the month. Heavy rainfall across southern Illinois during the last week of June and the first week of July sent the Little Wabash River above flood stage for a few weeks.

The Mississippi River finally fell below flood stage for the first time since April 21. At the Thebes river gage, the highest level (or crest) in July was 37.77 feet on the 6th. This crest represented moderate flooding. Though the flooding in July was considerably less severe than the preceding three months, a small number of homes and businesses remained underwater early in July. The Mississippi River remained too high to raise any of the locks and gates along the levees. As a result, the water from recent heavy rains as well as lingering floodwater from May remained trapped inland.
