WEATHER chaos could be set to continue in Herefordshire this week as 'severe gales' are forecast after Storm Isha.
Herefordshire was battered by Storm Isha on Sunday night (January 21), with power cuts and road closures reported across the county.
The south of the county was badly hit, with a number of fallen trees, including one on the A40 near Ross-on-Wye.

Police said on January 21 that there had been a number of crashes on the road, while a motor caravan ended up in a tree near Pencraig.
But while the amber weather warning in force in Herefordshire during Storm Isha on January 21 has now expired, and a yellow weather warning for wind in the county is due to expire at noon today, further heavy winds could be coming.
Forecasters at the Met Office warned on January 22 that, while Monday will still be windy as Storm Isha moves out, a bright start on Tuesday will quickly give way to cloud and rain moving into the UK from the west.
The Met Office said winds will increase through Tuesday, "with gales or severe gales possible".
