Parts of this region have received a month's worth of rain in two to three days and double the historical average of June rainfall. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, received 6.33 inches of rain in 72 hours from Thursday to Saturday, with 10.8 inches of rain so far in June.

The historical average rainfall for all of June in the southeastern South Dakota city is 4.23 inches.

Locations where clouds and rain start out the day Tuesday, leftover from thunderstorm activity on Monday night, may be at a lesser risk of experiencing a round of damaging thunderstorms later in the day.
The front's forward progression may slow just enough to create a heightened risk of flash flooding from repeating heavy thunderstorms later Wednesday from part of the upper Ohio Valley to the central Appalachians and New England.
