A flood Warning has been issued for Sandsend and a Flood Alert for the Yorkshire Coast from Staithes to Filey including Whitby and Scarborough.
The Environment Agency say strong winds and high tides are expected to cause large waves and spray overtopping along the North Sea at Sandsend on Friday leading them to issue a Flood Warning.
Waves are forecast to overtop coastal defences at the sea front (A174) and properties adjacent to the road between 12:30pm and 6pm on Friday afternoon, 24/11/2023.
The agency say:
"Stay away from beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as large waves and sea spray will be dangerous. Start acting on your flood plan if you have one. Plan driving routes to coastal roads, which may be flooded. "
Two Flood Alerts have also been issued. The first is for the North Sea coast from Staithes to Whitby including tidal River Esk. The agency say:
"Overtopping waves and spray are expected between 12:30pm and 6pm on Friday, 24/11/2023 and 1:30am and 6am on Saturday morning, 25/11/2023. "
The second Flood Alert is for the North Sea coast from Whitby to Filey including Scarborough. The agency say:
"Strong winds and high tides are expected to cause large waves and spray overtopping along the North Sea Coast from Whitby to Filey, including Scarborough, on Friday afternoon, 24/11/2023. Overtopping waves and spray are expected between 2:30pm and 7pm on Friday 24/11/2023, particularly around Marine Drive and Royal Albert Drive in Scarborough. "
There is also a Flood Alert in place for the Upper River Derwent where river levels remain high around Low Marishes. The flood alert area includes the Upper Derwent and Scarborough areas, including land around The Sea Cut at Scalby, Throxenby Beck, Old Malton, and Priorpot Beck in Norton.
The Environment Agency say:
"River levels remain high on the Upper River Derwent around Low Marishes. River levels elsewhere on the Upper River Derwent are falling slowly. As there is no significant rain forecast over the next few days we expect levels to continue falling. We are closely monitoring the forecast. Avoid using low-lying footpaths and any bridges near local watercourses and do not attempt to walk or drive through flood water."
