“An active frontal system, struggling to bring milder air into the south of the country, is expected to bring 20-30 mm of rainfall quite widely, and possibly in excess of 50 mm to some hilly districts.
“Some improvement seems likely later on Friday, but still with localised heavy showers.
“The public should be aware that this may cause some localised issues with flooding.”
