Gales of more than 70mph and torrential rain will batter North Wales today as the stormy weather shows no sign of easing.
The Met Office has warned that the region will once again be hit by treacherous weather conditions on Friday, with strong winds and heavy rain hammering the region.
Coastal areas are set to see gales measuring between 50mph and 70mph through the day.
Some exposed areas such as Capel Curig could even see wind speeds hitting 80mph by Friday evening, forecasters have said.
The worst of the weather looks set to hit by the afternoon and into the evening, with very strong winds and torrential rain in many parts of the region.
As it stands, there are no weather warnings in place for North Wales, with warnings confined to northern parts of England, as well as parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
It comes during a month where North Wales has been hammered by Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis, before being hit by further spells of torrential rain this week.
Some communities were put at risk of flooding on Thursday as torrential rain hit already-saturated ground, and there is no sign yet of drier conditions arriving.
Speaking about the weather in Wales on Friday, the Met Office said: "After a largely dry start, cloud will continue to thicken with patchy rain developing through the morning.
"Heavy rain by the afternoon, particularly over the hills, with strengthening winds."
The unsettled conditions are set to remain into the weekend, with more strong winds and heavy showers.
On their outlook for Saturday to Monday the agency said: "Unsettled over the weekend with spells of rain, strong winds and blustery, at times heavy showers.
