Spells of prolonged and heavy rain may lead to flooding and disruption to travel in places.
Warning in force from midnight on Tuesday 19 January until 12 noon on Thursday 21 January.
The Met Office said:
‘Several days of persistent and occasional heavy rain are expected to affect the region. The heaviest and most persistent rain is likely to be across Wales and the high ground of northern England (Pennines).
‘By early Thursday, 30-60 mm of rain is expected to fall widely across the warning area, with 100-150 mm over the high ground of Wales and northern England.
‘Up to 200 mm is possible across parts of north Wales. Melting snow across higher parts of the Pennines may exacerbate the potential for flooding. Strong winds will also accompany the rainfall and may add to travelling difficulties across areas higher and more exposed routes.’
