NOTTS is expected to get yet another deluge today – but not enough to cause another wave of flooding.
Met Office forecasters say the city and county can expect more heavy rain this afternoon, after days of high water levels closed several roads.
But the latest wet weather is not intense enough to bring any weather warnings and the Environment Agency.
Met Office forecaster Dave Britton said: "You will see a period of heavy rain in Nottingham through Saturday morning – you could well see another 20mm of rain."
This will clear through the afternoon, he added, before lighter showers.
Nottingham and the rest of the UK has already experienced the wettest-ever year on record as of Thursday, he added.
The Queen's Drive Park and Ride re-opened yesterday after being shut for five days due to flooding.
Notts County Council also said yesterday the National Water Sports Centre and Country Park at Holme Pierrepont will remain closed until further notice. Watersports centre general manager Phil Machin said yesterday: "The white water part of the centre is still closed as are the country park gates at the moment.
"We're looking to offer limited access to the country park from Saturday onwards – subject to any further changes in the weather. With more significant rainfall we would have to close the site again until further notice. We will review the situation again on January 2.
"The river level has gone down but the lake water level is still holding and the boat house end is under water."
He added the main concern was a reinforced bank between the river and the lake, installed after flooding in 2000.
He said: "It's taken a lot of pressure recently and we're concerned how many times it can take that."
Roads still closed by flooding include: the A1133 at Girton, the A57 at Dunham Bridge – which is likely to be closed over new year, the A617 between Kelham and Newark, Fiskerton Road at Hams Bridge near Bleasby, Manor Road, Shelford, Moor Road, Bestwood, Lowdham Grange, Station Road, Rolleston, and Trentside, Gunthorpe. The A57 was shut at the Dunham Toll Bridge, near Dunham-on-Trent, on Thursday,because the Trent had flooded road approaches.
The Dunham Bridge Company said: "Due to recent heavy rainfall the River Trent is flooded at several points, including the area around the bridge. Currently the approach road to the bridge on the Lincolnshire side is under several inches of water and is not safely passable."
Mr Britton added New Year's Eve could see a few afternoon showers but a dry night. On the recent rain, he added: "It's just part of our weather really – we live in a green and pleasant land for a reason and that's because it rains a lot.
"But we've seen the wettest year on record across England. It has been down to the position of the jetstream which carries our weather across the UK."
