In March 2019, a warm spell that contained heavy rainfall caused snow covering the landscape (up to 3 feet in some areas) to quickly melt, and caused major flooding in the U.S. Midwest. Overall, the "The Great Flood of 2019" greatly affected the Missouri River and its tributaries in South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas.
