Heavy rain & high winds, weather warnings in force

Heavy rain is currently spreading northwards across the country. Yellow warnings are in force across south Wales but these are to be extended across the whole of Wales from midnight tonight. It's still difficult to give too much detail about where the heaviest rainfall will be, but there's the chance we could see up to 3 inches of rain. This could lead to localised flooding. It will be rather windy too with some gale force gusts over the next few days.

The rain pushes north for the rest of the day, heaviest in the south, it might not reach north Wales until the evening. With no sunshine, a strengthening breeze and the rain too, it's going to feel rather chilly.

Tonight the rain extends across the country with heavy pulses of rain bringing heavy rainfall totals. It will be very windy particularly around exposed coasts.

Monday starts very wet, either rain or heavy showers. There could be some torrential thundery downpours in places as the low pressure system pushes north east. There could be some brighter spells developing across south Wales later in the day.
