Hide AdSome roads, including Shripney Lane itself, may continue to be impassable, a government spokesperson said, and motorists are still being asked to avoid roads most prone to flooding.
Minimal impacts are expected in Barnham, which is forecast to remain mostly dry, and river levels should fall throughout Saturday.
Even so, heavy rain – up to 50mm – is expected from 8pm on Saturday evening and river levels are expected to rise yet again on both the Barnham and Aldingbourne Rifes, possibly even higher than the peak reached last week.
