Continued flooding in areas with tributaries that feed the Mississippi River

The Mississippi River is fed by water from 2 Canadian provinces and 31 states.

If you look at the national map, you can see there's a lot of flooding in areas that feed into the Mississippi, such as the Missouri Basin.

Look where the red yellow and orange zones are located on the U.S. map:

“The big problem is, there’s just a tremendous snowpack,” Dutcher says. “We’ve seen a real delay in the onset of the snowmelt season in the inter-mountain region and we keep getting upper air lows that sink into the central Rockies and then slowly drift onto the Plains. It’s caused a lot of problems across the Midwest in terms of planting delays and very heavy precipitation.”
