An updated FLOOD WARNING has been issued for Whitesands.
Early indications are that the flooding peak tonight on the Whitesands will be up to half a metre higher than the one during Storm Ciara a week ago which means both a greater extent of the flooding from the river and higher levels. The peak is expected at approximately 01:00GMT Sunday but there will be extensive flooding for several hours either side of this time.

Whitesands
A FLOOD WARNING has been issued for Whitesands.
Due to rapidly rising levels in the River Nith because of rain from Storm Dennis compounded with additional water from snow melt in the catchment hills, flooding of the Whitesands area is expected to commence in the next couple of hours. The next high tide is due around 16:30GMT and this will impede river water for a short while before river levels increase still further.
SEPA anticipates that water will reach at least across both car parks and probably have a greater reach than the flooding associated with Storm Ciara a week ago. Flooding will continue past midnight tonight but its not yet clear how high the Nith will rise to the flooding peak. Further updates will be issued as the picture becomes clearer.
