A number of flood alerts have been issued for England, including for the Severn Vyrnwy confluence near Melverley.
The six flood alerts are in place for areas where ‘flooding is possible’.
The Government flood monitoring service said: "River levels are rising at the Llanymynech river gauge as a result of heavy rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is possible today (June 14).
"Flooding may affect low lying land and roads adjacent to the river from the Welsh border at Llawnt to Shrawardine near Shrewsbury. Other locations that may be affected include Llanymynech, Maesbrook and Melverley.
"Further rainfall is forecast over the next 48 hours. We expect river levels to remain high until Saturday afternoon (June 14).
"We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are checking defences."
