Weather warning issued with more heavy rain forecast across North Wales
A weather warning has been issued covering large parts of north Wales, with more heavy rain expected over the next 24 hours.
The region has already experienced torrential rain this week, with five flood alerts in place in eastern areas.
The Met Office yellow warning includes every county in north Wales, with heavy rain and strong winds forecast overnight and into Saturday morning, although eastern parts of Wrexham and Flintshire are just outside the warning area.
The warning is in place from 9pm this evening (Friday) through until midday tomorrow.
Met Office officials said: “Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, will move in from the southwest on Friday evening then persist overnight into Saturday.
“20 to 30 mm rain is likely quite widely with 40 to 50 mm on some hills. With conditions already very wet this is likely to cause some flooding.
“The rain will also be accompanied by strong winds, with gusts of 40-50 mph and possibly 60 mph on some exposed coasts in the south.
“The rain and strong winds will clear eastwards during Saturday daytime.”
