This means that Flooding is possible, but no longer expected.

Drivers are being told to plan and take care, choosing main roads where they are less likely to be exposed to fallen branches, debris, and flooding.

Public transport will likely be affected and due to spray and flooding on the roads, journey times will be longer.

Showery rain is expected by the middle of the day, easing through the afternoon before outbreaks of heavy rain arrive in the evening.

Many parts will see 15-20 mm, with the wettest spots seeing 30-40 mm.

Given the already very wet ground, some impacts are likely.
