“Whilst there is still some uncertainty in the focus for the heaviest rainfall, 20-30 mm of rain is likely to fall quite widely and there is a chance that 60-80 mm of rain could fall in places.
“These higher accumulations may not be confined to high ground only. Due to this uncertainty, further changes to the warning area are possible.
