A YELLOW warning for heavy rain is in place for Friday.

Forecasters said another spell of unsettled weather was expected to arrive causing more wet and windy conditions.

East Lancashire residents have been warned that there is a risk of flooding.

The Met Office website warned: “Rain will fall on saturated ground, whilst strong winds and lowering pressure will combine with high tides around the UK coastline.

“This leads to the risk of some flooding. There is currently a lot of uncertainty about the depth and track of extent of the low, and this alert is likely to be updated in the coming days.”
