A spokesman said: "River levels remain high and there is the potential for some ongoing disruption due to surface water flooding across the area. The situation is expected to improve into Monday.
"Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property. Advice and information is also available through Floodline on 0345 9881188.
