This message has been issued because there is a possibility of some minor flooding to riverside roads and footpaths for today, Saturday 18th January, and into tomorrow. High water levels may last for a few days until the high tides at Great Yarmouth have passed. This is due to the natural tide locking effect of high tidal waters moving up the rivers from Great Yarmouth that restricts the normal drainage out to sea of the Broads river system at low tide.
