A yellow weather warning is in place for parts of the West Midlands.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain and flooding which could lead to some travel disruption tonight (Wednesday, October 16).
There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses as well as a small chance of flooding and cancellations to bus and train services.
Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
The Met Office said: "Many places will see around 10 to 20mm of rain, but there is a chance some locations may see considerably more than this over a 6-hour period.
"A few places may see 50 to 80 mm of rainfall in 6 hours. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible in the south of the warning area with lightning an additional hazard."
The warning is set to remain in place until 9pm.
