Heavy rain over the past few hours has led to numerous reports of flooding on roads around Pembrokeshire. This rain is now slowly edging northwards and eastwards and although the rain is not likely to be as heavy as that experienced across Pembrokeshire some instances of flooding on the roads is likely. At present the radar shows some heavy rain edging into the Swansea/NPT area. The area of rain will mostly clear to the east of Wales by early afternoon.
Heavy showers will follow the rain this afternoon and overnight before further persistent rain moves from the west tomorrow and continues the risk of flooding on the roads.
