Flooding "could happen quickly" in parts of Wales with more heavy storms forecast.

A weather warning is in place for parts of north east, mid and south east Wales from 12:00 BST on Friday until 09:00 on Saturday.

The Met Office said flooding of homes and businesses "could happen quickly".

It said fast flowing or deep water could endanger life and warned of possible damage to buildings from water, lightning, hail or strong winds.
