Warning for heavy rain across Dorset TODAY
The Met Office says flooding is possible on saturated ground
There's a warning of heavy rain across Dorset today (Wednesday 21st February), with a yellow Met Office alert in place.
That's in effect from midnight to midday, with as much as 70mm of rainfall possible on higher ground.
Around 15 to 25mm is expected for most of the county though.
Showers will clear away to the east through Wednesday afternoon.
The Met Office has warned us to expect:
- Spray and flooding on roads will make journey times longer
- Some interruption to power supplies and other services
- A few homes and businesses flooded
- Bus and train services affected with journeys taking longer
The warning also comes as we've seen a very wet last few months, and the ground is already saturated.
