Bradford is on course for heavy rain and gales as remnants of Hurricane Lee add "extra oomph" to a low pressure system moving across the Atlantic, forecasters have said.

After a week of typically autumnal weather - with foggy nights, pleasant sunshine and periods of wind and rain - more unsettled conditions look likely for this weekend and the start of next week.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for severe weather over the weekend.

The warning, covering the period from Midnight on Saturday until 6pm on Sunday, says: "Spells of heavy and persistent rain are expected over some areas of western and northern Britain, accompanied by strong winds at times.

"Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possible.

"Spray and flooding on roads could make journey times longer and could affect some bus and train services.

"In addition, strong winds may be an additional hazard at times, perhaps with falling trees causing some interruptions to power supplies."

 

The stormy spell is expected to hit as Saturday fades into Sunday - with extra moisture and heat from Lee adding strength to showers and winds, particularly in northern and western parts.

And, following behind, a "rapidly fading Hurricane Maria will run across the bottom of the country, bringing some rain on Monday", Met Office forecaster Emma Sharples said.

She added: "But after that, it looks a bit more settled, we will see some strong winds on Monday but then generally some calmer weather."
