Heavy rain tonight could cause the River Nidd to flood, with Pateley Bridge most at risk.

The government's flood information service issued a warning at 8.22pm this evening as Storm Bella struck.

The warning said river levels in the upper Nidd were forecast to rise in the next few hours, adding:

"Consequently, the risk of flooding of property/roads and farmland in the majority of locations is expected to be overnight from 00:30, tomorrow morning.
"Areas most at risk are low lying land and roads around Pateley Bridge. We are closely monitoring the forecast and flood warnings may be needed.
"Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded."


The flood information service is expected to issue an update in the morning.

Alerts are also in place for the lower and upper River Wharfe and the upper River Ure.

Nationally, 155 flood alerts are in place, along with 77 flood warnings and two severe flood warnings, where lives could be in danger.
