ST. LOUIS – Another wet weekend has caused a renewed rise of Midwestern rivers, creating flooding that is an ironic end to a winter spent fretting about drought.

 

Parts of eastern Missouri and southwestern Illinois were hardest hit by rain that began Saturday afternoon and fell through Sunday. National Weather Service meteorologist Jayson Gosselin said Monday that Potosi, Mo., got 4.4 inches of rain, Randolph County, Ill., received 4.1 inches, and Farmington, Mo., had 3.9 inches.
