An update, from the BBC:
Amber rain warning issued with disruption expected
An amber weather warning is in place for south Wales from midnight on Sunday to midnight on Monday
Heavy rain could cause travel disruption and flooding on Monday as an amber weather warning is put in place for south Wales.
The Met Office said a band of heavy rain was expected to move over south Wales between late Sunday and late Monday, with 20 to 40 mm (0.78in to 1.58in) of rain expected across the wider region and more possible over higher ground.
A yellow warning of rain is also in place for Monday for mid and parts of north Wales.
The warnings come two weeks after danger to life alerts were in force following Storm Claudia, which flooded businesses and homes in Monmouth.
The Met Office warned strong winds would accompany the heavy rain on Monday, particularly in coastal areas. The heavy rain would likely bring disruption and probable flooding, it said.
Delays or cancellations to train and bus services are possible, driving conditions could be difficult and there may be some road closures.

From the BBC:
The Met Office says power cuts, longer journey times and disruption on public transport could happen amid heavy rain
Heavy rain could cause travel disruption and flooding as yellow weather warnings are placed across Wales.
The Met Office said parts of south and mid Wales faced potentially 20-50mm (0.78in- 1.9in) of rainfall on Saturday and 20-80mm (0.78in-3.14in) on Monday, with strong winds expected on both days.
The warning comes two weeks after danger to life alerts were in force following Storm Claudia, which flooded businesses and homes in Monmouth.
The Met Office said there was a "slight chance" of power cuts, and journey times could take longer because bus and train timetables could be disrupted.
Saturday's weather warning will be in place between 06:00 and 23:59 GMT, and Monday's will be between midnight and 15:00.
