“Flooding from rivers and surface water is possible during this time.
“Typical impacts could include flooding to low lying land and roads leading to travel disruption and possibly flooding of properties.
“Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions which help protect yourself and your property.”

The alert comes after the Met Office put out yellow 'be aware' warnings for both days due to the predicted rainfall in the county.
