A YELLOW weather warning for rain has been issued for North Wales.

The Met Office has issued a yellow alert which comes into force tonight at 9pm and is in place until 9am on Thursday.

Heavy rain may cause travel disruption and some flooding.

It comes after forecasters predicted bouts of heavy rain this week and into the weekend, as the 'unsettled conditions' continue.

A spokesman said: "Rain, often heavy, developing over Wales early Wednesday evening and moving east across central and some northern parts of England overnight.

"As much as 40-60 mm of rain is likely to fall over some hills and mountains in Wales, with 20-30 mm quite widely elsewhere in Wales and also over some other parts of the warning area. Following recent very wet weather some travel disruption and flooding is likely."
