A Met office weather warning has been issued for parts of the West Midlands.
A yellow warning for rain will be in place for Herefordshire and Shropshire from 12:00 today (Tuesday, April 15) to 12:00 tomorrow (Wednesday, April 16).
The warning reads: “A spell of heavy and persistent rain is expected to move north across western Britain during Tuesday into early Wednesday.
