On Sunday and Monday there will also be a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses.
Homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.
“Fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a danger to life,” the warning continued.
“Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible.
“Some communities may be cut off by flooded roads.”
