A warning means the Environment Agency expects flooding to occur.
The main car park at Ancholme Leisure Centre in Scawby Brook, which was entirely flooded by the New River Ancholme yesterday, was almost clear this morning.
However, the nearby former Brigg sugar factory sportsground, off Scawby Road, remained half-covered in flood water.
More than 200 flood warnings currently operate across the UK.
