As per title, been talking to a mate he says the Soar levels are up. Any one know if showing red at Barrow deep?

 

Thanks...

Yes. Barrow deep is on red. Levels not rising much sovshould be back in amber or green by w/e with no more rain.

Thank you matty, I'll be up to Barrow on Saturday, I hope to be lucky with river level then.

Cranfleet flood gates still open at about 5.45 tonight but Trent is looking high and still rising.

weather forecast is good for the next few day, we are heading up from Torksey aiming for red hill on sunday

Are you planning to spend a night in Loughborough or Barrow? It might be time for a mini banter.

Thanks everyone for the info. Richard, all being well I will be passing through Loughborough Sunday morning.

Looking at the EA charts & forecast hopefully all will be well for the weekend !

 

All levels from Freemans , Wreake at Syston Pillings & Kegworth seem to have peaked & have fallen slightly - Based on our local knowledge we should all be ok for the weekend. Although more rain might change matters - Forecasts seem ok so fingers crossed , Although with the Trent still rising may hold back the drainage from the Soar.

 

Have said before tho some of the Soar 'reds' can be a little on the low side !

Went red yesterday late afternoon...we are facing the light currently! Should be green by weekend I reckon.

btw, the EA have lowered the 'normal level' so it will go red earlier now I think.

Thisgives Pillings Lock Marina extra time to get the buckets ready to maintain its flood free status.

 

levels 6" down at Sileby

from yesterdays peak.

5 boats above the lock waiting to continue.

 

after the last years floods,this is very much a slash in the can.

still on red this morning!

Green now!

Trent and Soar came off "Red" at Shardlow this afternoon. Trent just into amber at Derwent mouth Lock. Sawley flood gates are in operation, but not chained. Boats are moving around..
