The Met Office predicts heavy rain in Taunton this evening, and expects showers until the early hours of Friday.
An overcast but largely dry day should follow, but further heavy showers are expected by Friday evening and are set to continue overnight.
Light rain is forecast throughout Saturday afternoon and evening, but temperatures could feel as high as 6C in parts of Somerset.
Light showers will turn to heavy downpours by around midnight on Saturday, the Met Office says, and rain will continue to fall in varying degrees until around 9am on Sunday.
A cloudy day with sunny intervals should follow, however.
It will feel considerably colder on Sunday night, around -3C in parts of Somerset, and a light flurry of snow is forecast in Frome in the early hours of Monday.
