But the weather service has also issued a more serious "amber" warning for Devon and Cornwall from 6pm on Sunday to 9am Monday morning.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "The centre of low pressure is expected to move north across the South West on Sunday night, leading to strong winds as it moves to the north, but notably heavy rain with the potential for some torrential downpours."
It says a further 25-50mm of rain is expected through the night and it is monitoring the storm.
