'Yellow' Weather Warning For NI
A 'yellow' weather warning for Northern Ireland has been issued by the UK Met Office, ahead of heavy rain and a risk of flooding today and into tomorrow.
Bands of rain are expected to affect areas across Northern Ireland through the rest of Tuesday and overnight into Wednesday morning.
The Met Office said the public should expect heavy downpours and a risk of localised flooding.
The Chief Forecaster said: "A complex frontal frontal system will continue to affect Northern Ireland with rainfall becoming heavy at times, although confidence remains low in the timing and exact location of the larger rainfall totals.
"Some places will only receive 5-10 mm of rain, whilst others could see as much as 40 mm, including isolated intense downpours of 10 mm within an hour."
The warning is valid from 10:50 on Tuesday until 08:00 on Wednesday morning and affects all six counties in Northern Ireland.
