Two storms set to hit Flintshire and Wrexham this week

Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice look set to hit the region and the majority of the UK across Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Yellow weather warnings are in place for Flintshire and Wrexham across the first two days (Storm Dudley) before Storm Eunice is set to hit on Friday.

Initially only parts of Flintshire were expected to be affected by Storm Dudley, but the Met Office have updated the warning, which will now hit large parts of Wales. It is possible that the warnings could be upgraded to amber later in the week.

The Met Office have said that Storm Dudley is set to bring a spell of "very strong winds and a risk of disruption later Wednesday and into the small hours of Thursday."
