"The public should be aware that, following recent heavy rainfall, the ground remains saturated, and that further rainfall would lead to surface water issues and perhaps localised flooding."
Cornwall and Devon will be the main counties affected tomorrow, with West Somerset also catching some heavy rain.
But by Friday, the severe weather warning area will widen to include the whole of Somerset, Bath and Bristol.
A Met Office spokesman added: “Drivers really need to be careful on the roads because of spray and we’re likely to see patches of localised flooding as water runs off the ground, which is already soaked.”
