It seems likely that there will be minor flooding in parts of York over the next 24 hours. However the threat is not as great as seen earlier in the year.

The A19 near Fulford is reported to be closed.

Upstream river levels have dropped dramatically over the last few hours.

The shopping centres will be unaffected.

Bus services are not operating today (New Years Day)

As always the best guide is the web cam on Kings Staith http://www.farsondigitalwatercams.com/live-webcams/north/Ouse/York/# . If the no entry sign is still above the waterline then there should not be any serious flooding.

We’ll provide updates if things deteriorate

The Environment Agencies web site also now has an improved graphical representation of flood threats (above) It can be accessed here: http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/142151.aspx
