'Possible flooding' warning issued for three areas of Shropshire ahead of the weekend
Residents in Shropshire have been warned of possible flooding in three areas following the Met Office's weather warning for the West Midlands.
The yellow rain warning will be in place in the region from 6am to midnight on Saturday (November 29).
The warning reads: “Heavy rain may cause travel disruption and flooding this weekend. Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer. Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer, with a chance of cancellations where flooding occurs.
"There is a chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings. There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads. There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.
“Rain, heavy at times, is expected to develop across southwest England on Friday night and spread northeastward during Saturday before clearing into the North Sea on Saturday night. There is uncertainty in the corridor of heaviest rainfall across England and Wales, but there is potential for 20-30 mm to fall fairly widely with 50 mm possible in places.
"Over high ground, there is a low chance of 60-80 mm falling. Strong winds may accompany this heavy rain, particularly across eastern parts of England on Saturday night.”
Now, the Environment Agency has issued three flood warnings for areas in Shropshire, which state flooding is possible tomorrow (November 29).
