North East Lincolnshire Council is reminding people to be prepared for the possibility of some surface water flooding on Saturday and Sunday, December 22 and 23.
A yellow severe weather warning has been issued for the Yorkshire and Humber region by the Met Office.
Weather warnings are given a colour depending on a combination of both the likelihood of the event happening and the impact the conditions may have. Yellow is the lowest level of warning and advises people to be aware of the risk of localised flooding and travel disruption.
People are advised to plan their travel and outdoor activities appropriately. The community is also asked to check on any vulnerable neighbours, such as the elderly, should the rain cause any localised problems.
Council staff are on standby and monitoring the situation. Any residents in North East Lincolnshire who are affected by flooding should contact the council on 01472 313131.
About 15 to 20mm of rain is expected on Saturday morning with up to 20 to 30mm possible in isolated showers. High winds are also expected on Saturday and this might cause problems with driving conditions. â¨â¨
Forecasts are currently uncertain but there is a possibility of more rain on Sunday and Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be dry.
