Parts of Herefordshire could see a months worth of rainfall in ‘just 12-24 hours’ on Sunday, with torrential downpours likely.
With Met Office warnings in place for today (Friday), as well as Saturday, it’s expected to be a wet few days in some parts.
The risk on Sunday is of a more organised area of torrential rain moving across Herefordshire, as well as other parts of England and Wales.
The Met Office warning for Herefordshire on Sunday says:
“Showers and thunderstorms are expected to merge into broader areas of heavy rain across parts of Wales, central and southern England during Sunday.
“Whilst the strongest signal for impactful rainfall totals appears to be centred across east Wales and west-central England, there is potential right across this highlighted region for some areas to see 30-50 mm in less than 6 hours, with a few places receiving 60-80mm over the course of 12-24 hours.
“Southwest England looks likely to see some heavy rain during the early hours of Sunday morning, breaking up into slow-moving, heavy and in places thundery downpours during the day time.
“Meanwhile, the areas of heavy rain are likely to continue pushing north and west, becoming slow moving across some northern and possibly eastern reaches of the warning area during the rest of Sunday.”
