The Met office has issued a series of severe weather warnings for the next three days:
An area of heavy, rain along with strong to gale force winds, is expected to cross the north of the UK from Friday afternoon and into the early hours of Saturday morning. This will bring some locally large accumulations, particularly on hills, and following previous wet weather is likely to lead to some localised flooding across western and central parts of Scotland, north and mid-Wales and northwest England.
This is an update to the Alert issued yesterday.
A deep low pressure system is expected to move across the Atlantic later this week, arriving into western parts of the UK on Friday afternoon. With mild air and strong winds some large rainfall totals are possible, particularly over high ground in the western and central Scotland, northwest England and north Wales. There remains some uncertainty around this system and this alert is likely to be updated in the coming days.
