Heavy rain and blustery conditions are forecast for the end of the week with a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office.
The alert, which covers Wrexham, is in place from 3pm on Friday 6 December until 6am on Sunday 8 December.
According to the Met Office some areas covered in the warning – which includes large parts of England and Wales – could see gusts of up to 80mph.
Locally wind speeds are expected to peak at 40mph.
The weather warning also includes heavy rainfall, with the Met Office stating that northern and western parts of England and Wales will see the largest rainfall.
As a result members of the public are being warned of likely travel disruption this weekend with flooding
“A deep low may cross England and Wales from Friday afternoon, clearing to the east Saturday night,” a Met Office spokesperson said.
“The low may bring a period of strong winds to much of the warning area, with some heavy rain likely to the north and west of the low centre, and some hill snow in the north (above about 200 metres).
“Around 15-25 mm of rain may fall quite widely, more particularly across central, northern and western parts of England and Wales, with exposed higher ground in the north and west (particularly parts of Wales, which are at greatest risk of seeing flooding impacts) perhaps locally seeing closer to 50-70 mm.
“Winds may quite widely gust to around 40-50 mph inland but locally could gust in excess of 60 mph, whilst around coasts, winds may gust to 60-70 mph, perhaps locally nearer 80 mph.
“The wind and rain may cause disruption to travel, with difficult driving conditions likely.”
