He said: “Further rain will spread northeastwards across Wales and South West England during the rest of Tuesday and into Tuesday night, becoming heavy and persistent in places before clearing on Wednesday morning.
“A strengthening westerly wind will bring squally showers. Frequent gusts of 40-50mph are likely, perhaps locally 60mph or more, particularly over exposed coasts and hills.
“Given saturated ground, the public should be aware that further localised flooding and disruption to travel is likely.”
Several flood warnings and alerts remain in place for rivers across the South West.

Paul Gainey, a spokesman for the Envionment Agency, said staff would keep a “watching brief” on the many rivers considered at risk over the next few days.
He said: “The problem is that the rivers are quite high after we had 15mm over the weekend.
“The spring tides are peaking Tuesday into Wednesday which, combined with high winds, has the potential to cause wave spray and overtopping in Cornwall.
“We might also see minor disruption and road flooding in low-lying areas.”
