A yellow weather warning for severe rain has been issued for Northern Ireland as Storm Hannah blows in.

The alert will be in place from midnight tonight and end at 3pm tomorrow afternoon. Flooding of homes and businesses is likely, according to the Met Office .

But the good news is that things are set to pick up again on Sunday.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "Northern Ireland should miss the worst wind impacts of S torm Hannah.

"Heavy rain is expected on Saturday morning though and this will give a lot of surface water on our roads.

"Things should improve on Saturday afternoon.

"What to expect: Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely, spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer and bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer."
