Rain will be persistent and heavy at times, particularly so for hills, moors and headlands exposed to brisk winds. Most of the warning area will see 20-40 mm of rain, with as much as 60-70 mm possible for some areas, for example Dartmoor and Exmoor. Rain should ease from the south during the night, clearing to scattered showers by morning.
