"The worst weather is forecast to affect the River Severn, River Avon, and River Soar catchments from 7pm this evening.
"This weather front is forecast to last approximately 12 hours."
And, it seems, there is to be no let up with more wet and windy weather expected on Monday and Tuesday.
Environment Agency teams have been mobilised across the Midlands to check on flood defences, clear any river blockages and monitor river levels.
They will be carrying out their work around the clock this weekend as the wet weather front moves in.
