The Environment Agency updated a Flood Warning for the River Severn at Sandhurst and Maisemore on Monday morning, saying river levels on the River Severn were due to peak at 11am and between 11.15pm and 11.59pm.
Another Flood Warning - which means flooding is expected, take immediate action - is also in place for the Wye Estuary on the Forest of Dean border with Wales.
More rain is forecast for the area.
Lower level flood alerts have been issued for other spots along the River Severn,the River Wye in Herefordshire, the Severn estuary from Gloucester to Sharpness, and the Wye Estuary in Gloucestershire.
A four star Severn Bore rushed up the river this morning.
The natural phenomenon is caused when the rising-tide moves into the funnel-shaped Bristol Channel, forcing water to surge upstream in a wave.
It was predicted that waves could reach a height of 10.3 metres on the River Severn after dark yesterday and today.
