Other locations that may be affected include Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Melverley. Flooding of properties is not forecast at this point. Further light rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours. River levels have peaked and will remain steady, with no further rise forecasted today. We are closely monitoring the situation. This message will be updated by 08:00 on 10/12/18, or as the situation changes.
