Forecasters warn that flooding is possible in some areas after a few days of wet weather .

Natural Resources Wales has already issued a flood alert for the Pembrokeshire Coast due to recent heavy rainfall. Advice from the Met Office adds: "Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. "Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. "Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area." The wet weather could cause disruption for anyone with plans on Bonfire Night. While the warning ends at 6am on Wednesday, the Met Office forecast says it will remain "unsettled" with further rain forecast for the rest of the week.
