Weather warning issued with heavy rain forecast overnight

A yellow weather warning has been issued with heavy forecast overnight. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Met Office alert is in place from 8pm this evening through to 8am on Tuesday morning. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It is forecast that some places could see between 30mm and 50mm of rain, with warnings of localised disruption. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A Met Office spokesperson said: “An area of rain will move northwards overnight, turning heavy for a time before clearing away northeast on Tuesday morning. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“While many places are unlikely to see impacts, it is possible that the rain band could become slow moving for a time giving localised accumulations of 20-30 mm in two to three hours and perhaps 40-50 mm in three to four hours which could lead to some surface water impacts and delays to transport.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
