Wet and windy weather due for the region again as Storm Ciaran approaches
Heavy rain is being forecast for the region as wet and windy weather is expected to build up to a “nasty storm” later in the week.
The Environment Agency has issued 72 flood warnings for the UK as the latest band of bad weather approaches leading up to the next storm on Wednesday night which has been give named Storm Ciaran.
Most of the weather warnings currently in place are unlikely to touch the region, but we can expect heavy rain and gusty winds.
Parts of South Shropshire are however likely to be affected by the warnings put in place by the Met Office for Thursday.
From Tuesday the whole West Midlands region is likely to start experiencing heavy rain in patches with gusty winds too, according to the Met Office.
The outlook for Wednesday to Friday is just as unpleasant with the forecaster saying: "Remaining unsettled with blustery winds and showers, which may be heavy and persistent at times. Winds can pick up to gale force at times especially through Thursday."
The Met Office is advising the latest rains could lead to disruption to roads and public transport.
