The Met Office continues to expect a further period of persistent and locally heavy rain during Monday. The heaviest of the rain is expected across the northern half of northern England as well as Northern Ireland and parts of southern Scotland. Through this area, widespread totals of 30-50mm are expected along with a risk of up to 70mm over hills. Localised flooding is likely where ground is already saturated and there could be disruption to transport networks. There is an increasing risk of rain turning to snow over the high ground of northern England and southern Scotland giving 10-20cm in places and perhaps a few cm of slushy snow at lower levels. However, there remains considerable uncertainty regarding the snow aspect of this warning. This warning is likely to be superseded by Flash Messages.
