Flood Warning issued on 9 Feb 2020 07:27
River Calder
River levels have risen as a result of persistent heavy rainfall overnight due to Storm Ciara. Although river levels are currently peaking, a heavy pulse of rain is forecast later this morning which we expect to cause a sharp river response. Consequently, flooding of property is possible this morning from around 10am, 09/02/20.
Areas most at risk are properties along Halifax Road around Callis Bridge.
We expect river levels to continue to rise until approximately midday today.
We are closely monitoring the situation from our incident room.
Please put your flood plan into action and see GOV.UK for a 5 day flood forecast. Please plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded and avoid contact with flood water. Halifax Road at Callis Bridge has been affected by surface water flooding, so please take care if driving in the area.
We will update this message by 15:25 09/02/20, or as the situation changes.
