I'm afraid most of Wales is in for a soaking over the nextÌý24 to 36 hours and the Met Office has evenÌýissued a .

Most of us are in for a soaking tonight and tomorrow and again on Saturday.

The rain will be heaviest on higher ground in the south and west and in North West Wales with 70 to 100 mm possible in the next 48 hours.

That'sÌýthree toÌýfour inches of rain!ÌýSo there's a real risk of localised flooding.

The rain will be accompanied by fresh to strong winds south to south-westerly winds as well asÌýextensive low cloud, mist and hill fogÌýso travelling conditions will be treacherous.

The reason for the unsettled weather is the jet stream, which is further south than it should be, and that is steering an area ofÌýdeep low pressure in from the Atlantic.

Sadly it's not the best weather for the which starts tomorrow at Glan Usk Park estate near Crickhowell. There will be some rain I'm afraid and it willÌýfeel muggy with a light breeze. Find out more about the history of this festival on Â鶹Éç Wales Music.

Tomorrow night South Wales can expect a little rain and drizzle but elsewhere it will beÌýdry for a time with the wind easing.

On Saturday it looks like the rain will return - some of it heavy although North Wales may be dry and bright.

The rain should clear on Sunday leaving much drier and brighter conditions. There will however be some sunshine with a few showers in the north westÌýwhere it will feel fresher.

So if you're planning a trip to the beach this weekend - Sunday looks like the best day but before that, we're in for a dose of wet and windy weather.
