THE Met Office has issued several warnings for storms this weekend.

While Gwent shouldn't be affected directly, a warning for south-west England on Saturday means some bad weather could stretch across the Severn Estuary and reach us.

There's plenty of rainfall forecast this weekend, too.

Heavy rain is expected across Gwent on Saturday morning, with periods of scattered showers on Sunday.
