The weather pattern began to quiet down after the historic spring river flooding. With high pressure generally in control of the weather, the first half of June was very warm and dry. At the beginning of June, a couple of rivers were still above flood stage from April and May's major and record-setting floods.

Flood in NEW MADRID, MISSOURI
From 01-JUN-11 00:00:00 to 03-JUN-11 18:00:00 (CST-6)
Location: NEW MADRID
Flood cause: Heavy Rain
Property damage: 0.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: River/Stream Gage

The Mississippi River fell below flood stage at New Madrid for the first time since April 19. The flooding in June was relatively very minor compared to the historic flooding in April and May. Levees protecting parts of the county were detonated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in early May. The levees were opened as part of the activation of the New Madrid Floodway. The floodway was opened to relieve pressure on levees along the lower Ohio River and parts of the Mississippi River. Some of the floodway land is located in New Madrid County. Flooding caused by the intentional levee breaks ended in June, allowing many residents to return to their property.
