Heavy rain heading to Newtown

The Newtown area is set for another 24-hour soaking from lunch time today, after the Met Office issued another yellow weather warning.

Flooding and some disruption can be expected when the heavens are expected to open across Mid Wales from around 12.30pm, and, according to the Met Office interactive weather map, we can expect the rain showers to continue through the night and into lunch time tomorrow.

But some brighter weather is following the storm with a pleasant afternoon expected on Tuesday.

The yellow weather warning is in place until the end of today.
