Flood-hit Shropshire braced for more rain and strong winds
A band of rain and gales is moving across the country today bringing further wind and rain to Shropshire.
Around 10-20 mm of rain is possible with the strongest winds forecast this afternoon and evening.
Gusts of 50-60 mph are widely expected.
The Met Office is warning the potentially damaging winds could bring down trees and cause disruption to travel and power networks.
Tomorrow will see generally less windy weather, with some scattered squally showers which could be wintry at times.
Friday will start dry for many areas, however another band of rain is set to push in during the day. This could bring 15-25 mm of rain.
The Met Office has issued an Amber Weather Warning of strong wind for Shropshire today.
Martin Young, Met Office Chief Meteorologist, said: "With more rain on the way and very strong winds, it's likely we will see more impacts over the next few days.
"The winds through Wednesday could see trees brought down, which could cause disruption to transport and power networks. Gusts will be strongest during the afternoon and evening.
"Further rain both on Wednesday and Friday could also lead to further flooding."
