A FLOOD warning has been issued for locations near to the River Dee in the centre of Chester.
Low lying land and riverside properties from Grosvenor Bridge to the Groves are forecast to be affected by flooding due to higher-than-normal spring tides.
Areas at risk include riverside properties from Grosvenor Bridge to the Groves including parts of River Lane, Greenway Street and the Groves.
The brunt of the flooding is expected this afternoon, with the weather expected to be more settled towards the evening.
Residents are being warned to avoid using low lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and to not to attempt to walk or drive through flood water.
A further update is expected at 5pm, or as the situation changes.
