Whilst some places will remain dry, thunderstorms and heavy showers could cause some disruption on Saturday in a few places.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop and spread northeastwards. 

The Met Office add while much of the time it will be dry, and not all places will see these, where they do occur 20-40 mm could fall in less than an hour, with a small chance of isolated accumulations of 50-70 mm over the course of a few hours.

Hail and frequent lightning may also accompany the most intense storms, especially during Saturday afternoon and evening in parts of the Midlands, southern England and east Wales.

The rain is expected to clear heading into Sunday with sunny intervals and cloud forecast for the remainder of the weekend.
