The Met Office, which issued the warning this morning, Thursday, said: "There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings.

"There is a lot of uncertainty in where the rain becomes prolonged but some locations are likely to see 15-25 mm during the day with isolated totals of 40-60 mm possible over higher ground in particular.

"Rain is expected to ease through the course of Saturday night."

Last weekend, mid Cheshire was hit by heavy rain with flooding affecting Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich.

Winsford Town Council member Nathan Pardoe said this morning: "As we already know, the flooding at the weekend has damaged the pathway at Winsford Marina.

"Council officers are visiting daily to check for safety issues and provide reassurance.

"The pathway will be repaired as soon as possible, quotes are being arranged by council staff and the work will be scheduled as a priority."
