FLOODING of property is still expected in prone areas of Worcester with more rain to come, particularly at the weekend. Worcestershire is predicted to miss out on rain and snow that are causing yellow and amber weather warnings in Scotland and the north east of England but bits of rainfall may add to problem areas alongside the River Severn. The Flood Warning Information Service (FWIS) says levels “remain high” at the Diglis river gauge with “flooding of property, roads and farmland expected to continue”. Quay Street, South Quay, Diglis Avenue and Hood Street are expected to be worst hit with Pitchcroft Lane, Waterworks Road, Newport Street, Croft Road, Diglis Dock Road, Diglis Lane and Diglis Avenue also in the firing line.
ROADS across the county remain icy this morning following the weekend’s snowfall. There is a yellow weather warning in place for ice which may cause some travel disruption throughout the day. Sixteen flood warnings also remain in place across Worcestershire, meaning immediate action is required, with 7 flood alerts, which mean people should be prepared for action.
