6.21" combined storm total so far 6/19 & 6/20. Soils are saturated in low-lying and drainage areas, which are still holding >1" of surface water in some places. Many drainage ditches and culvert/stormwater management systems are poorly maintained and have reached the point of becoming easily overwhelmed with even minimal additional accumulation at this point. Standing water in private yards, fields, and parking lots is fairly widespread. Notable increase in mosquito activity. Delicate garden plants/vegetables are suffering from excessively wet soil.
