Roads alert as Met Office issues Shropshire rain warning
The Met Ooffice has issued a yellow warning of heavy rain for Shropshire today.
It said further heavy showers will occur across some central and southern parts of England and also southeastern parts of Wales.
Some of these showers are expected to become slow moving, with hail and thunder possible.
A spokesman said: "Be aware of the potential for localised surface water flooding and difficult driving conditions.
"The areas of rain, some heavy, across southern parts of England and Wales will turn more showery by afternoon, whilst at the same time heavy and possibly thundery showers develop.
"There is the potential for these to become slow moving in some places, most likely across the southwest Midlands, southeast Wales and and the West Country, leading to 15-25 mm of rain within an hour very locally, and perhaps 40 mm or more in a few hours.
"However, there is still some uncertainty over exactly where these will develop and most places will not experience these slow moving intense showers. Where they do occur, hail and lightning are also possible."
Earlier police in Wellington tweeted:
And last night a driver skidded off the wet road surface of the A5 in Shropshire, but escaped uninjured.
