Essex coastal towns could flood this weekend.

The Flood Forecasting Centre is warning there is an increased risk of flooding on Sunday and Monday.

The flooding could be "significant", but it says the chance of this happening is "very low".

There is a higher chance of some river flooding, but this is not expected to be too severe.

The guidance reads: "The coastal/tidal flood risk is low.

"Significant coastal flooding impacts are possible but not expected on Sunday and Monday along coastline A in Specific Areas of Concern Map 1, due to a potential storm surge and large waves combining with spring tides.

"Minor coastal flooding impacts are possible but not expected along coastline B."
