Highways officers report roads in West Somerset are closed due to flooding on Sunday.
They are the B3222 Jury Hill near Dulverton at Hele Bridge, and the B3191 at Cleeve Hill.
Willow Grove at Washford remains closed due to a landslip reported on Saturday.
Heavy rain across the region from Friday night has caused rivers to run high across the area with a series of flood warnings and alerts in place.
Levels appeared to peak at Saturday lunchtime and are reported to have gone down, although showers have continued overnight.
On Saturday, firefighters from Taunton rescued two people and a baby from a car stranded near Creech St Michael.

At Dulverton, the B3222 is closed in both directions, after water overflowed across the road at Hele Bridge from the Rivert Barle.
The flooding on minor roads around Wellington on Saturday around Nynehead, Oake and Bradford on Tone, was reported to have eased on Sunday, although there were large stretches of water in some areas.
The fire service advises motorists not to drive through floods, as 30cm of water is enough to move a car, and walkers can be washed off their feet by the current.
