River levels remained high across much of the state through the latter half of April, so additional rainfall sent a few stations back into flood. The West Fork of the Des Moines River at Humboldt remained in flood through the end of April and into May. Flood periods earlier in the month are listed in separate episodes for both the Emmetsburg and Humboldt areas.
