Forecasters are warning that rain and hill snow will develop in the early hours of Saturday in Wales and western England, later turning to rain at all levels, and continuing into Sunday.

Some 50-75 mm of rain is expected to fall fairly widely with 100-125 mm of rain over higher ground, particularly in south Wales, the Met Office said. 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

Flooding is possible as a result, the Met Office is warning.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Holley said Storm Bertmarks a shift to much milder air and wintry hazards will gradually diminish through the weekend.

But, he warned, "rapid melting of lying snow over the weekend and periods of strong winds are likely to exacerbate impacts and bring the potential for travel disruption, as well as flooding for some".
