Weather warnings in place as winter arrives

Like the majority of the country, Walsall is braced for some severe weather conditions as this week gets underway.

The Met Office has weather warnings in place both locally and nationally, and is warning of travel disruption and the risk of flooding as Britain faces a battering.

In Walsall, heavy showers are set to continue, with some torrential downpours and strong westerly winds likely to cause chaos.

Steve Willington, Met Office Chief Forecaster explains: "A deep area of low pressure is moving north from the Bay of Biscay and will bring a very unsettled spell of weather to all parts of the UK this week."
