This has meant that the Rivers Yeo, Creedy and Taw are now rising. River levels will remain high and flooding to low lying land and roads is likely.
Further rain is forecast overnight on Friday. This will cause river levels to rise again with further flooding expected in the area.
We are constantly monitoring river levels and have staff in the area checking for and clearing blockages. This message will be updated on Saturday morning or earlier if the situation changes.

Heavy rain is forecast from the early hours of tomorrow morning, Saturday 2nd November, which will last throughout the day. This is likely to be widespread and persistent with the potential for surface water and river flooding throughout Saturday.
Widespread totals of around 20-40mm of rain are expected. There is potential for localised totals of up to 80mm particularly on higher ground. The forecast is unclear on the precise location of these areas in Devon.
Catchments are already wet from recent wet weather and are likely to react quickly to further rainfall. This will be accompanied by strong westerly winds which could lead to significant leaf fall, contributing to increased flood risk due to blocked drainage gullies.
We will continue to monitor the situation, this message will be updated on Saturday morning or earlier if the situation changes.
