Two coastal areas in Suffolk are now likely to flood following earlier alerts from the Environment Agency.
Felixstowe Ferry and Bawdsey Quay are expecting flooding this morning after the torrential downpour that battered parts of Suffolk last night has come to its end.
This morning, an alert was issued for the coastal regions of Suffolk, with floods possible.
That alert has now been upgraded to a warning, which is only issued when the chance of a flood is highly likely.
We now have 3 flood warnings in place and some flood alerts.
