THE Environment Agency has issued two flood warnings tonight after a day of heavy rain saw rivers rising across the region.
The day's downpours have added to problems caused by melting snow.
Flood warnings are in place for the River Esk at Ruswarp and Lealholm, near Whitby, North Yorkshire.
A number of less serious flood watches have also been issued for the Rivers Derwent, Ouse, Leven, Wiske and Nidd.
