MORE rain is on the way to an already sodden Gwent during the next 24 hours and more - with a yellow warning issued by the Met Office due to start at 3pm this afternoon.

Parts of Monmouth remain cut off, roads in Monmouthshire and other parts of Gwent are still closed due to flooding caused by Storm Dennis, and many householders and businesses are counting the cost of the deluge.

But most of Gwent is covered by the latest warning, which takes in Newport, Caerphilly, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and much of Monmouthshire.

According to the Met Office forecast, the rain will be at its heaviest in Newport and the rest of Gwent from around 7am tomorrow until midday, accompanied by 30-35mph winds.
