Kate Marks, Environment Agency Flood Risk Manager said: "We strongly urge people to sign up to flood warnings, keep a close eye on local weather forecasts and be prepared for the possibility of further flooding.
"We also ask that people stay safe, by staying away from swollen rivers and not attempting to drive through floodwater.
"The Environment Agency already has teams out on the ground checking on flood defences and clearing any blockages in order to reduce the risk of flooding as much as possible."
The C7 West Stafford Bypass near Dorchester is closed in both directions due to flooding this morning.
Standing water is causing problems for drivers on several other roads across Dorset.
