Flood warning
Areas affected: Riverside properties along the tidal River Yare including Cantley, Brundall and Reedham
ACTIVE Started at: 21:02 GMT on Mon 22 January
Flooding is expected - immediate action required
This message has been issued because some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths is likely through this evening, Monday 22nd January, and into tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd January. This is due to the natural tide locking effect. Tidal water moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth, restricts the normal drainage out to sea at low tide, of the Broads river system. Areas most at risk are in Reedham, Cantley and Brundall. Roads affected include Ferry Road in Reedham, the A47 and the railway line between Reedham and Brundall. The weather forecast is for a dry day today, Monday 22nd January, with some showers tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd January. Take care on waterside roads and footpaths, and don't put yourself in unnecessary danger. We are closely monitoring the situation. We will update this message by 10:30 today, Tuesday 23rd January.
