RIVER LEVELS are still expected to be 'above normal' in several parts of north Wales after Storm Jocelyn hit the region this week.
On Tuesday (January 23), residents were warned to expect damage to buildings, power cuts and more as the storm swept through the area.
The Met Office issued a yellow wind lasting through until today (January 24) and warned motorists to expect road closures due to fallen trees and debris.
And Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is today warning that the effects of the storm are ongoing in some areas.
They have confirmed that there are currently several flood alerts in place throughout north Wales.
NRW say that communities, businesses and isolated properties along the River Dee including Erbistock, Plas Devon, Almere and Trevalyn Meadows are being affected.
