Shropshire flood alerts remain in place as rainfall persists
Flood alerts today remained in place for several areas of Shropshire and the Welsh border.
Towns and villages throughout Shropshire were today being warned to be wary as the county is expected to be affected by rain throughout the week.
The Environment Agency has issued flood alerts for the entire River Severn area in Shropshire from the Severn/Vyrnwy confluence beginning at Llanymynech to Buildwas.
Alerts have also been issued for the Tern and Perry catchments in the north of the county and the River Dee south of Llangollen.
The alerts were initially in place on Friday, after heavy rain saw river levels rise rapidly with melting snow in Snowdonia adding to the problems for the north Wales border.
They remained in place throughout the weekend, with warnings that there could be a peak of level of up to 5.8 metres at Montford Gauge and 2.5 metres in Bridgnorth.
The weather forecast is warning of more rain on Tuesday and Thursday.
