But first there will likely be a bit more precipitation. The National Weather Service predicts 1 to 1½ inches of rain will fall on Los Angeles County's coasts and valleys between midnight and noon on Friday, with 1½ inches to 4 inches in the mountains. Coastal and valley temperatures are anticipated to peak in the high 50s and low 60s, and snowfall is expected at elevations above 6,000 feet.

The NWS San Francisco CA said, Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low water crossings may become flooded. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas, the NWS said. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings.

The storm in the central and northern Plains will spread over to the Midwest and Great Lakes regions over the weekend with "widespread heavy snowfall and hazardous travel conditions," the National Weather Services (NWS) said on Saturday. Winter storm warnings and advisories are in effect from South Dakota to portions of Ohio with the storm already dropping up to 8 inches of snow in some places since Thursday, according to the NWS.

The Met Office has released three yellow weather warnings as Storm Benjamin is set to hit the UK brining 70moh winds and heavy rain.

Low pressure moving across the south of the UK on Thursday will bring both a spell of heavy rain and areas of strong winds. The rain is expected to arrive from the southwest during Wednesday evening, before spreading northeast to many parts of England and Wales during Thursday, leading to difficult driving conditions and the risk of flooding in a few places. At the same time, winds are expected to pick up along south coastal areas in particular.

A Status Yellow rain warning has also been issued for counties Donegal, Leitrim and Sligo from 5am to 5pm on Monday, with heavy showers potentially leading to difficult travelling conditions, poor visibility and localised flooding. The windy conditions could also lead to the displacement of debris and loose objects. Some heavy, possibly thundery showers, are expected this afternoon in the west and northwest of the country, with a mix of sunny spells and showers on the way elsewhere as winds strengthen into the evening.

Today will bring sunny spells and showers, with some heavy showers in the mix as well. The 80,000 revellers flocking to Stradbally should keep the raincoats and wellies handy. The north and west of the country will get the worst of the rain, while there will be more sunshine in the east and southeast. Highest temperatures will be between 15 and 20C.
