Met office issues 27-hour weather warning for West Midlands and Shropshire
A 27-hour weather warning has been issued for the West Midlands, Shropshire and Mid Wales.
Heavy rain is set to lash Britons over the next few days while temperatures could drop below freezing as a cold snap moves in.
A yellow warning for rain will be in place from 9pm on Thursday until midnight on Friday, the Met Office confirmed.
Forecasters say difficult driving conditions are expected due to surface water and spray on faster routes.
They added spray and flooding on the roads would probably make journey times longer, with some flooding of homes and business likely. Bus and train services may be affected with journey times taking longer it warns.
