Heavy rainfall once again battered Srinagar on Friday, reportedly leading to a rise in the Jhelum's water levels.
The state Meteorological department had earlier on Thursday said that skies would be clear throughout the day but light rainfall was expected in the evening.
On Monday, the state government had declared the region flooded after two days of incessant rains caused the waters of the Jhelum River to surge over the danger mark.
Heavy rains and a landslide in the Valley have killed 17 people so far.
Fifteen people were killed when a hillside collapsed onto a house in Ledhan village, about 40 km from Srinagar, before dawn on Monday.
Police said two other people died in flash floods in another part of the state.
Hundreds of people have fled their homes as Kashmir's main rivers began to swell and weather forecasters predicted further downpours in the region that was struck by devastating floods just seven months ago.
