The unsettled weather looks set to continue for the rest of the week with further rain at times. Here is what we currently expect to see for the East of England.

Today and tomorrow will see some fine, dry weather but also outbreaks of rain at times, mainly this afternoon, and early tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow night we will see a band of rain move up from the south to lie across our area. This band of locally heavy rain is expected to remain across the area through much of Friday before gradually weakening overnight. We could see 30-50 mm quite widely with a few locations seeing 60-80 mm although the location of the heaviest rainfall is still uncertain. This prolonged, locally heavy rain could lead to flooding in places and will be accompanied by strong, easterly winds.

The Met Office have issued a Yellow Rain Warning (Very Low Likelihood of Medium Impacts), valid 0600 on Friday to 0600 on Saturday. Impacts could include difficult driving conditions, disruption to transport, isolated flooding of homes and businesses, and isolated power outages. The Flood Guidance Statement is also Yellow, highlighting the risk of seeing flooding in places, mainly due to surface water.

Saturday and Sunday will see rather cloudy conditions with outbreaks of rain or showers. It will gradually become less mild as a northerly wind develops over the weekend.

Temperatures will generally rise into the low-teens Celsius at first but down to the high-single figures to low-double figures Celsius by Sunday, and we are on Cold Health-Alert: Green (preparedness).

Please be aware that the following warning has been issued by the Met Office:

Yellow Warning of Wind has been issued across the East of England and is valid from midnight tonight until 1900 Saturday

Today will see further outbreaks of rain pushing through on a blustery mainly south west wind. Some heavy rain and increasingly strong winds tonight. Rain should clear east by daybreak tomorrow.

During Saturday, some heavy showers should rattle though but the main feature of the weather will be the wind. Tomorrow’s gales are associated with Storm Amy, where further north and west across the UK, widespread disruption is highly likely.

However, although our region will miss the worst of Storm Amy, winds could still lead to some impacts tomorrow. Indeed, a Met Office Yellow Warning of Wind has been issued across the East of England and is valid from midnight tonight until 1900 Saturday.

Gust of 45 to 55mph are possible and this warning brings a Medium Likelihood of Low Impacts, which means:

Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are possible.
Possibly some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer
Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely
Some short term loss of power and other services is possible
It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves

Gradually becoming less windy overnight Saturday and during Sunday – but expect some gusts of 30 to 40mph blowing mainly from the west, along with a few showers as Storm Amy pulls away from the British Isles.

From Monday, the emphasis is on generally fine weather for much of next week. Wednesday may be the exception to this with some showery rain at times. No Met Office severe weather warnings are currently expected from Sunday in our region.

Temperatures will generally be very mild – or even warm and rise into the mid to upper teens Celsius range. A few places could make 20 or 21 Celsius in first half of next week. For our region, the Flood Guidance Statement remains ‘green’.
