A flood warning is in force for the Harrogate district from 6am to 8pm tomorrow.
Many roads were hit by flash flooding on Saturday and water levels remain high. Now the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for tomorrow due to persistent heavy rain, although the north-west is expected to bear the brunt.
Yellow warnings, which are less severe than amber and red warnings, are usually issued when it is likely the weather will cause some low level impacts, including some disruption to travel in a few places
In this instance, the Met Office has warned "flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely" and "bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer".
The Environment Agency issued a flood alert on Thursday last week for low-lying areas around Masham, Boroughbridge, Aldborough and Bishop Monkton that are close to the River Ure.
It was removed over the weekend and there are currently no flood alerts or warnings active in the Harrogate district.
