This is the grim weather outlook for Wales in the coming hours as the remains of Hurricane Gonzalo track a path across the country.
Mid and North Wales will be hardest hit with heavy rain and gale force winds of up to 70mph expected across the region.
In South Wales the weather will be slightly less severe but rain and windy weather is expected until Wednesday.

A yellow ‘be aware’ warning has been issued for rain and high winds over the entire country.
The Met Office said gusts exceeding 50 mph were likely inland, with 60 to 70 mph gusts in exposed coastal areas in the west and north.
"The public should be aware of the potential for disruption to travel and possible damage to trees," a spokesman said.
"Difficult driving conditions will result, perhaps exacerbated by surface water and spray in places."
The Met Office said heavy showers would begin to spread across the country on Monday as the day progresses.
“Winds will strengthen through the evening, and gales will develop across the coasts and hills,” a Met Office spokesman said.
“Outbreaks of locally heavy rain will also move southeastwards overnight and clear northwestern parts later with a minimum temperature of 6C.
“On Tuesday morning any rain will quickly clear, to leave a bright and very windy day, with the odd shower.
“Gales will affect exposed parts, and it will feel noticeably cooler than recently.”

But the bad weather is expected to ease from Wednesday with lighter winds, patchy rain and milder temperatures continuing through until Friday.
“It will be rather cloudy on Thursday and Friday with outbreaks of rain at times, perhaps locally heavy on Friday,” the spokesman said.
Hurricane Gonzalo has caused devastation in Bermuda and is now crossing the Atlantic towards the UK.
In Bermuda on Friday, wind speeds of up to 110mph were reported, making it the biggest storm to hit the island in more than 10 years.
