THE Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning with heavy rain set to hit the South later.

The agency's warning is in place for Hampshire from 5pm tonight until 8am tomorrow.

And they are warning about the possibility of more flooding, just days after it caused road closures and rail cancellations in Hampshire.

In their forecast the agency says: "Further spells of heavy rain are expected to develop across southern parts of England and Wales during Friday evening, persisting overnight before clearing away to the southeast during Saturday morning.

"The most prolonged spells of rain are likely to be over high ground.

"Be aware of the potential for further localised flooding and disruption to travel.

"A cold front is expected to move eastwards across the yellow area during Friday evening and night, before clearing during Saturday morning.

"Around 5-15 mm of rain is expected to fall quite widely, with 40 mm possible over high ground - most likely across Wales and southwest England."
