Rain and hill snow is expected to develop through the early hours of Saturday morning, the Met Office said, before falling as rain across all levels by late Saturday and continuing into the early morning on Sunday.
Forecasters at the Met Office said some 50-75 mm of rain is expected to fall fairly widely, with 100-125 mm of rain possible over higher ground, particularly in south Wales.
"There is a chance that prolonged heavy rain could become slow-moving over south Wales with up to 150 mm possible in a few places and it is here where impacts are most likely," the Met Office said.
"Strong southerly winds will accompany the heavy rain and may locally exacerbate impacts."
