#NaturalResourcesWales 🗨️ If you live near to or are visiting the coast on New Year's Day, please take extra care and keep a safe distance from coastal paths and promenades. With a wind warning in place from the early hours, large waves could sweep you off your feet and contain hidden dangers.

🌊 Strong winds near the coasts are expected to cause large waves. For this reason and also the heavy rain forecast, #NaturalResourcesWales has put much of #NorthWales under a Yellow “Be Aware” Warning for risk of localised flooding from today until Sunday. 2/2

⛈️ Latest for today (Thurs):

⚠️ #MetOffice Yellow Warning for Wind in place until 3am Fri. 40-50mph gusts inland (60-70mph by exposed coasts).

⚠️ New Yellow Warning for Rain issued inland, until 6pm tonight. 20-30mm possible. #NaturalResourcesWales Yellow Warning in place for flood risk.

⚠️ Met Office Yellow Warning for Wind and Rain, 3pm Fri - 6am Sun, for much of England and Wales. 15-25mm expected widely (50-70mm locally). 40-50mph gusts possible inland (60-70mph by coasts). #NaturalResourcesWales have also issued a Yellow "Be Aware" Warning for risk of flooding. 2/2

In terms of wind, the worst impacts will be felt on Sat in NW #Wales (50-60mph), especially on #Anglesey and along the coasts (possibly up to 70mph). It will be less windy on Sun but still blustery. #MetOffice and #NaturalResourcesWales have issued Yellow (Be Aware) warnings for Rain/Wind & flooding, respectively. Hunker down and stay safe all; it’s going to be a wild one! 🧵 2/2

🗨️ #NaturalResourcesWales have posted:

"Heavy rainfall in recent days, falling on heavily saturated land, has resulted in high river levels... Numerous flood warnings are in place across #Wales, with east and mid Wales being particularly impacted."

🗨️ From #NaturalResourcesWales: "We currrently have 3 Flood Alerts in place in NW and SW #Wales. Spells of heavy rain could lead to surface water flooding and will likely impact roads and driving conditions, so please take care if you need to travel and do not drive or walk through flood water."

✅ #MetOffice and #NaturalResourcesWales have cancelled their warnings for rain/flooding today as the rainfall forecasted is now only expected to be disruptive in parts of England.

⚠️🌧️ Following on from the Thunderstorm Warning issued for Sunday, the #MetOffice have issued an additional Yellow Warning for Rain over much of Wales. Cumulative rainfall over Saturday and Sunday poses a risk of localised flooding. As such, #NaturalResourcesWales have extended their “Be Aware” warning to cover the entire weekend.

⛈️ Chance of thunderstorms today and tomorrow. While the extent of these storms remain uncertain and many places will miss them, #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for much of #NorthWales due to risk of 30-40mm falling in less than an hour. #NaturalResourcesWales have also issued a Yellow "Be Aware" Advisory.

⚠️🌬️ #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning, 1am-9am Thurs, for NW #Wales. 50mph winds forecast widely with 60mph gusts possible in exposed locations. Because trees are currently in full leaf at this time of year, this could lead to more downed trees than a typical winter storm. #NaturalResourcesWales have also issued tidal flood alerts due to elevated risk of coastal flooding due to the combination of high tides and strong winds. #NorthWales

#NaturalResourcesWales have placed most of the region on an AMBER "Be Prepared" Warning due to the risk of flooding. #NorthWales

⛈️ Plenty of thunderstorm activity to the south of #Eryri National Park (#Snowdonia) this afternoon. Please bear in mind that there is a #MetOffice Yellow Warning for Rain in place today, in addition to a Yellow Warning for risk of flooding from #NaturalResourcesWales. #NorthWales

⚠️ #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for Thunderstorms, affecting all of #NorthWales, 12pm-10pm Sunday. While not everyone will see thunderstorms, potential severe weather is possible, including intense downpours that locally could deliver 30mm of rain in less than an hour, with the risk of surface water flooding. Additional hazards include hail, frequent lightning strikes, and strong gusts of wind. Concurrently, #NaturalResourcesWales has issued a Yellow Flood Risk across the region.

⚠️ #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for Thunderstorms across #Conwy, #Denbighshire, #Flintshire, #Gwynedd, and #Wrexham, effective until 9pm this evening. Some may see sudden downpours which could bring 20-40 mm of rainfall in a short period of time. While not everyone will see rain, those who do are at risk of some localised flooding. Because of this risk, #NaturalResourcesWales have also issued a Yellow Warning for risk of flooding.

⚠️ #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for Thunderstorms, effective until midnight tonight (Thursday). Inland areas of North Wales may see heavy rain with frequent lightning. Potential for 25-30 mm of rain in just 1-2 hours, up to 50 mm in some spots.

🌊 #NaturalResourcesWales have now put the entire region (except Anglesey) under a Yellow Warning for Flooding. Just a “Be Aware”. #StormJocelyn

#NaturalResourcesWales 💬:

With #StormIsha approaching, coastal communities will be particularly affected by the high winds which are estimated to reach up to 80mph tomorrow.

Heavy gusts along with surface water flooding could heavily impact driving conditions, especially on coastal roads.

Please be vigilant and keep a safe distance from the seafront.

⚠️🌧️ Wet and windy weather is expected in the region over the next few days. The #MetOffice have issued a Yellow Warning for Rain, 10pm Sat until 6pm Sun (Christmas Eve) in parts of #Conwy, #Denbighshire and #Gwynedd due to a slow-moving band of rain. West-facing high ground could see 60-80mm during this period. #NaturalResourcesWales has also issued a Yellow “Be Aware” Warning due a risk of flooding.

⚠️ The earlier Yellow Warning for Rain from the #MetOffice has been expanded to cover all of #Wales, 6pm Wed until end of Thurs. 20-30mm expected widely, but some locations in #NorthWales may exceed 100mm. Considering that the ground is already saturated following earlier rain and that fallen leaves may block drains, there is a risk of localised flooding. #NaturalResourcesWales have issued Yellow Warnings for risk of flooding, Thurs and Fri. #StormCiaran
