The Met Office said: "There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded road, as well as a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.

"This heavy rain follows on from an expected wet day across some similar areas on Thursday which will increase the likelihood of impacts.
