Heavy rain is likely to hit Salisbury and the rest of Wiltshire later this week as Storm Christoph sweeps across the UK.
Although northern and central parts of England are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning which covers all of the South, from midnight on Wednesday, January 20, until 3am on Thursday, January 21.
Spells of heavy rain may lead to travel disruption and flooding places, the Met Office said.

A spokesperson said: "Occasional heavy rain is expected to affect the region on Wednesday and Wednesday night.
"The heaviest and most persistent rain is likely to be across the higher ground in the South West.
"20-50 mm of rain is expected to fall widely across the warning area, with 50-80 mm over the Moors in the South West.
"Some stronger winds may also accompany the rainfall and may add to travelling difficulties across areas higher and more exposed routes."
