The Met Office has issued an amber weather alert for rain, that will begin tonight at 6pm, and is likely to remain in force until tomorrow at 6am.
The amber weather warning, which covers some of Ledbury and the surrounding areas, warns that heavy rain is likely to cause flooding and transport disruption this evening and overnight.

The warning suggests that spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures and that homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
The amber alert comes hot on the heels of several previous weather warnings issued in Herefordshire over the last week. This includes an initial yellow weather warning for rain, which came into force at 6am today (September 25). It will remain in force until 9am on Friday, September 27.
