A yellow warning for periods of heavy rain that could cause some flooding of roads and properties had been issued for the West Midlands and most of Wales until 11.59pm on Monday (January 27).
The Met Office expects 20mm to 40mm to fall quite widely and 50mm to 70mm on higher ground.
Ben Lukey, a flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: “Spells of heavy rain mean surface water and river flooding is possible across parts of England on Sunday, overnight into Monday.
“Although not expected, impacts could include localised flooding from watercourses, drains, channels and flooding from overland flow."
He warned people not to drive through flood water as 30cm of flowing water is enough to float a car.
A further yellow wind warning runs between 10pm on Sunday and 7am on Monday and covers large parts of the southern England, the north west, West Midlands and Yorkshire - with warnings of potential disruption.
Gusts of 55-65mph are possible overnight and there is a small chance they could reach 80mph, the Met Office say.
