Widespread heavy rainfall during late April and into the first part of May caused many rivers across the state to rise above flood stage. Many of the rivers rose above flood stage in late April, and the flooding persisted through much of May. Some rivers, such as the White River, remained above flood stage for several weeks, even through early July for the Augusta forecast point. Widespread moderate to major flooding was seen, with some locations along the White river seeing record levels. This was a part of the Great Flood of 2011.
