River levels remain high at the Cae Howel river gauge as a result of recent rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland may continue on Sunday, 22/12/24 and into Monday, 23/12/24.
We expect flooding to affect low lying land and roads adjacent to the river from the Welsh border at Llawnt to Shrawardine near Shrewsbury. Other locations that may be affected include Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Melverley.
Predicted peaks:-
Llanymynech 3.1m to 3.2m Sunday Morning, 22/12/24;
Cae Howel 3.6m to 3.8m on Monday morning, 23/12/24
Further rain is forecast over the next 48 hours, and we expect river levels to be high over the next few days. Our incident response staff are closely monitoring the situation.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
This message will be updated by 9am on 23/12/2024, or as the situation changes.
