A WEATHER warning for rain is in place across Shropshire tomorrow (Monday, July 15).
The Met Office has issued a Yellow weather warning spanning the whole of Wales and significant parts of the West Midlands - which is in place 8am until midnight.
The warning covers all of Shropshire, including Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ellesmere and Wem, as well as over the border in Powys and Wrexham.
Forecasters have warned people to expect potential flooding, power cuts and travel disruption.

A Met Office forecast said: "Outbreaks of rain, some heavy and thundery, will spread steadily north across the area during Monday.
"Some torrential downpours are likely in places with 15 to 20 mm falling in less than an hour and as much as 30 to 40 mm in 3 hours.
"This is likely to lead to localised flooding, slower travel times and a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded.
"Some of the heavy rain may be accompanied by lightning bringing a further hazard. The heavy rain will slowly ease after dark."
The Met Office is, thankfully, forecasting much improved weather from Tuesday onwards.
