SVT News Jönköping was in the morning near the Finnvedsvallen in Värnamo as the municipality continued its work on building barriers. According to SMHI, there will be additional rainfall around 25 millimeters in the next three days in Värnamo.

SMHI has issued a Class 1 warning for high flows in Lagan, as full lakes combined with heavy rainfall cause large amounts of water to flow into the river. On the route after the drainage from Skålån down to the drainage from Bolmån, warning class 2 applies.
