A weather warning has been issued for Herefordshire on Thursday and Friday, with further downpours likely to cause problems. 

The Met Office warning for Herefordshire, which is valid from 5pm on Thursday, to 10am Friday says:

“Whilst some areas will miss the worst, areas of heavy, showery rain are expected to become widespread across a swathe of England and Wales during Thursday evening and on into Friday morning. 

“There is some uncertainty in the details, but some locations may see up 20-30 mm of rain in 2-3 hours and perhaps 40-60 mm in 4-6 hours. 

“Lightning and strong, gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially in southwest coastal areas. 

“Given the recent very wet weather, this will bring the potential for further flooding and transport disruption.”
