Flood barriers are due to go up in Shrewsbury after a false alarm earlier in the week.
Shropshire Council has confirmed that the large Frankwell Riverside car park has on Wednesday been closed but the main section remains open - although overnight parking is not advised.
The Environment Agency in the Midlands has also confirmed that its teams are putting up flood barriers at Frankwell due to rising river levels on the River Severn. During a Flood Alert, avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
Former Environment Agency chief Dave Throup says an automated forecast shows a significant rise on the Severn by Thursday evening.
