HEAVY rain could bring flooding to parts of Somerset as forecasters issue a weather warning for the South West.
The yellow warning will be in place from 6am on Friday (November 23) until 6pm on Saturday (November 24).
The Met Office states on its website: "Bands of heavy, at times thundery, showers are expected to affect parts of southwest England from Friday morning until later on Saturday.
"Whilst most areas will see a rather wet spell, not everywhere will see the heaviest downpours.
"Where they do occur, 20-40 mm may fall in 6-12 hours, with perhaps around 50 mm falling in 24 hours - most likely across southeast-facing coasts and moors of Devon and Cornwall. Showers may also contain small hail at times."
The Met Office said flooding of a few homes and businesses is 'likely' , spray and flooding on roads will probably make journey times longer and bus and train services are likely to be delayed.
