• Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
• There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
• There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads
• Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
• There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
Outbreaks of rain will arrive from the south on Thursday evening then persist overnight and through Friday, heavy at times, before slowly easing during Friday evening. 20-30 mm rainfall is likely quite widely, with a small chance of 40-60 mm in a few places, leading to the chance of some flooding and disruption. In addition, rain may turn to sleet or wet snow at times which may lead to some accumulations in places, more especially over inland parts of Lincolnshire.
Strong winds, especially near coasts, will be an additional hazard with winds gusting 40-50 mph at times and leading to large waves through Friday.
