Yellow warning of rain issued for Shropshire as hailstorm turns Oswestry white
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of heavy rain and strong winds overnight and into Easter Monday for Shropshire - as a hailstorm left Oswestry looking like it hat been hit by a snowfall today.

Meanwhile, a Met Office spokesman said: "A period of heavy, persistent rain is expected to move northeastwards Sunday night and Monday morning, bringing a risk of surface water flooding, perhaps exacerbated in places by wind-blown debris.
"The rain is expected to clear northeastwards from southwest England by early Monday, from much of the Midlands around mid-morning, then finally clear from eastern England around Monday lunchtime.
"Be aware that some low level disruption from localised flooding looks likely.
"The persistent spell of rainfall could widely bring 10 to 20mm, perhaps 30mm locally. Across central southern and southeastern England the main band of rain will be followed by further bands of showery rainfall, which could locally bring 10 to 15mm in only a couple of hours."
