The warning is in place from 2pm today until 11.59pm on Sunday (December 22).

The Met Office warns that the heavy rain could lead to flooding and travel disruption across the town.

The yellow warning means some communities may be cut off by flooded roads, and possible power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.

According to the Met Office, the heavy rain is expected to last throughout Thursday and through Friday morning.

More heavy rain is forecast for Saturday and Sunday, before it brightens up on Monday (December 23).
