A yellow weather warning has been put in place as Greater Manchester is forecast heavy rain from midnight tonight (Wednesday).
The Met Office has issued an alert across the region warning that heavy rain could lead to some minor transport disruption and flooding.
Following last week's torrential downpour from Storm Christoph thousands of homes had to be evacuated due to rising water levels.
Many of the region's rivers reached 'dangerously high levels', the Environment Agency said, with the River Mersey coming 'very close' to breaching its bank.
From midnight, heavy rainfall is forecast tonight, carrying through until 10am on Thursday, when light rain is expected.
The rain is due to ease up at around 2pm, the Met Office has forecast.
Flood alerts are in place on the Middle River Mersey catchment including areas near Bramhall, Stockport, Sale, Altrincham and Urmston.
They are also in place in the River Bollin catchment areas included Knutsford, Wilmslow, Macclesfield and Bollington.
The Met Office has said that flooding may also be possible in the Upper River Irwell catchment with Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton, Haslingden, Ramsbottom and Rawtenstall.
Alerts are in place across Blackburn Brook, the River Churnet and River Tean, River Spen and Batley Beck catchments, River Wye in Derbyshire and Upper Dove.
