The Met Office has issued two weather warnings for Herefordshire this morning, with torrential rain a hazard as we head into Monday.

Spells of rain, with some sleet and snow possible over the highest ground, will spread in overnight on Sunday and into Monday. Parts of Herefordshire could see up to two inches of rain in a short period of time.

The Met Office has issued two warnings for Herefordshire, one for ice and the other for rain. 

The first Met Office warning that is in force from midnight tonight, until 6pm on Monday says:

“Heavy rain will affect parts of southern England, South Wales and the southwest Midlands during Sunday night and Monday. 20-30 mm of rain falling widely with a few places seeing as much as 60 mm.“

The second Met Office warning for Herefordshire that is in place from 5pm today until midday tomorrow says:

“Modest thaw of recent snowfall will lead to wet roads and pavements. With temperatures falling this evening refreezing of thawed snow will lead to some icy patches on untreated surfaces. 

“As well as this, later in the night rain will push north across much of the the area, initially falling on to frozen surfaces. Some snow is also likely, mainly across the hills and mountains of north Wales and The Peak District. 

“Snow may fall to lower levels for a time tomorrow morning, especially across parts of Wales adding to the risk of ice.”
