A series of storms will bring an extended period of unsettled weather to the United Kingdom.
A bit of afternoon rain will dampen Wales and southern England Wednesday afternoon before a prolonged period of steady rain falls across much of the country Wednesday night into Thursday.
The heaviest rainfall is expected from Wales into Northern England and Southern Scotland where local amounts up to 25 mm (1 inch) are possible by the end of the day on Thursday.
Northern Scotland will remain mostly dry throughout the storm with nothing more than the odd shower.
Strong winds will also buffet much of the country from Wednesday night into Thursday.
Locations across Wales and England will endure the strongest winds with frequent gusts of 30-40 mph. Exposed coastal locations will be at risk for an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ wind gust of 50 mph.
Friday will bring a brief reprieve for much of the country before another storm arrives Friday evening.
Another round of rain and strong winds is expected with northern parts of the country enduring the worst conditions.
Rain will overspread Northern Ireland and Scotland Friday evening and continue into Saturday afternoon before tapering off to showers Saturday night and Sunday.
Localised flooding will be possible along with some travel disruptions.
Strong winds with gusts of 40-50 mph are expected Friday night and Saturday across the same region.
Farther south, a spell of light rain will cross England and Wales from Saturday afternoon into Saturday night.
Strong winds will accompany the rainfall with gusts of 30-40 mph.
