MORE rain is expected to hit Gwent this evening and overnight, after Storm Bert caused widespread flooding across the area over the weekend.

The rain will fall on ground that is already saturated, which means the ground cannot absorb anymore water. This could lead to more flooding. 

According to Met Office forecasting, the rain expected to fall in showers this afternoon with some more persistent downpours after 10pm.

The Met Office said people in Gwent will experience "a mixture of sunny spells and blustery scattered showers. These heavy at times, carrying the risk of hail and the odd rumble of thunder possible."

From 1pm to 4pm there is a 50-60% chance of rain. Temperatures are expected to be between 6 and 10°C, with some light winds.

After 4pm this increases to 70-80% until 10pm when the heaviest showers are expected.

The Met Office said there will be "heavy showers continuing through this evening and overnight". Temperatures are also forecasted to drop down to 2°C at a minimum. 

Flood warnings are still in place across Gwent.

According to Natural Resources Wales there are 7 red flood warnings including the River Monnow at Skenfrith, the River Wye at Monmouth and Watery Lane. There are also 19 amber flood alerts including the River Ebbw at Newport and River Usk.

The area has already seen homes and businesses suffering from devastating floods over the weekend.
