More heavy rain is set to batter Lancashire on Friday evening (October 6), prompting to Met Office to issue a yellow weather warning for rain.
The warning – which covers most of Lancashire – will be in place from 1pm until 3am on Saturday (October 7).
The warning does not cover all of Blackpool, but it does include Lytham, Little Thornton, Poulton-le-Fylde and Kirkham.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: “Further spells of rain, heavy at times especially over high ground, are expected this afternoon and evening before clearing northwards overnight.
“Some places may see a further 20-30mm.”
Forecasters warned flooding is likely, and bus and train services could be affected with journey times taking longer.
The Environment Agency has also issued five flood warnings (flooding is expected) and six alerts (flooding is possible).
