Flood alert
River Leen, Day Brook and Tottle Brook in Nottinghamshire
Rising river levels today may lead to flooding.
Flooding is possible on Saturday 24 October from 18:00.
Areas most at risk are low-lying recreational areas and roads including High School playing fields on Valley Road and other low lying land and recreational areas, low lying land and roads around the Tottle Brook. Rainfall is forecast over the next 8 hours. River levels at Day Brook Gauge may rise rapidly due to the nature of the catchment.
We are closely monitoring the situation
Take care and avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
This message will be updated by 10:30AM on Sunday 25 October or as the situation changes.
Flood predictions aren't generated for
lock / structure gauges —
their levels are driven by gate operation,
not by catchment rainfall, so the forecast models would have no skill here.
