predawn hours of June 1st.
A few notable historical floods that came in June is listed below.
Rainfall during these times was enhanced by
slow moving or stalled cool
fronts; early tropical cyclone activity;
and by slow moving or stalled low pressure
systems aloft.
The wettest periods in most Junes
has come in the early to mid part of the
month; however, some late June flood events,
like late June and early July of 2002 and
late June and early July of 1954
have shown up.
