River levels remain high but continue to fall at the Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Cae Howel river gauges following heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible. 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.
Observed peak:- Llanymynech at 4.77m Saturday evening, 07/12/2024.
No further rainfall is forecast. We expect river levels to remain high for several days. We 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 18:00 on Wednesday, 11/12/2024, or as the situation changes.
