The Flood Warning has now been removed. However, a Flood Alert remains in force for the wider area, so flooding of roads and low lying land is still possible.
The risk of flooding from Storm Babet has now reduced. Further rainfall is forecast but no property flooding is expected. The flood gates in Morpeth will remain closed.
Our incident response team is continuing to monitor the forecast and situation on the ground.
Continue to take care on riverside roads and footpaths and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger.
There may still be some areas where flood water is present until it can naturally drain away.
