Storm Claudia latest for Herefordshire and Worcestershire
Flood warnings, weather warnings and school closures are in place
Herefordshire and Worcestershire are expected to be especially badly hit by Storm Claudia over the next 24 hours (Friday 14/Saturday 15 November).
The counties are under a yellow warning for heavy rain and strong winds between 6am on Friday to 6am on Saturday, but the Met Office has also placed the region in the next level amber warning from midday today until midnight.
That indicates:

- Spray and flooding leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
- A good chance some communities will be cut off by flooded roads
