Two Merseyside weather warnings now issued by the Met Office

Two weather warnings have now been issued by the Met Office for Merseyside this weekend.

A warning about heavy rain was declared earlier this week for the region.

Outbreaks of rain will spread across the UK during Sunday with prolonged spells of heavy rain developing later in many western areas.

A further 15-25 mm may occur quite widely with perhaps as much as 50 mm on high ground.

Following heavy rain in these areas during previous days, flooding impacts and disruption to transport is possible.

Strong to gale force southwesterly winds are likely with potential for leaf fall to exacerbate flooding in places.

But a yellow weather warning for wind has now been issued for the region.

Both warnings are in place from 6pm on Sunday, November 1 to 6am on Monday, November 2.

A belt of very strong and possibly squally southerly winds will develop on Saturday morning with gusts of 60-65 mph, perhaps 70 mph on exposed coasts and hills.

The winds will become more westerly during the afternoon and gradually ease across England and Wales.
