The Met Office said: \u201cA region of rain and showers, heavy at times, associated with a slow moving area of low pressure is expected to drift across Northern Ireland overnight Saturday into Sunday.<\/p>\n

“10-20 mm is expected widely and in a few spots as much as 25 mm could fall in a 9-12 hour period, leading to localised flooding and difficult driving conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will also become windy with easterly winds gusting 30 to 35 mph inland and to 45 to 55 mph on some coasts and over high ground. Winds will ease after midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Five people across Northern Ireland were rescued in two separate incidents involving cars trapped in flood water<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Two people were rescued and their car towed after getting trapped on Caugheys Road in the Dromore area, while three people were rescued in a separate incident in Tandragee in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Breaking\u00a0|\u00a0 Up to 25mm of rain could fall in some places (Stock image PA) A weather warning has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5011],"tags":[1211,779,80780,1384,1248,1144,1210,16,15],"class_list":["post-717334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-northern-ireland","tag-antrim-news","tag-armagh-news","tag-derry-girls","tag-down-news","tag-fermanagh-news","tag-northern-ireland","tag-tyrone-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115949568377964749","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
