Another couple of centimetres are possible to lower levels at times through today and into tomorrow, before the start of a transition on Saturday.
The worst of the severe weather is likely to be in Scotland, where an amber alert comes into force on Saturday at 7am. The warning lasts until 5pm and covers an area north of Scotland’s central belt, where 10 to 20cm is likely on ground above 200 metres and potentially as much as 20 to 40cm on hills above 400 metres.
“Heavy rain through Saturday and Sunday, especially in southern and western parts of the UK, will also bring impacts for some with a number of warnings in place. We expect 50-75mm of rainfall quite widely within the warning areas, but in excess of 100mm is possible over high ground in parts of Wales and south-west England.
