STORM Jorge is set to send lashings of rain and wind to the Post area this weekend.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the area around Launceston, Bude, Camelford and Holsworthy, mainly consisting of rain and wind, which could cause difficult road conditions.

According to the national weather service, based in Exeter, there will be heavy rain and wind throughout today (Friday), with the rain beginning to settle during the night and pushing eastwards.

Saturday may see a bright start for the South West, but will experience blustery showers across the region — with some showers expected to fall as hail or sleet in parts. Winds will remain strong, with coastal gales likely.

On Sunday, it is expected that strong winds will be experienced across the region with cold temperatures.
