West Midlands region Forecast for Saturday


After a cloudy start, scattered showers soon develop across the region, heavy
at times and bringing a more widespread risk of hail and thunderstorms.
Feeling breezy in the showers. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

I think you will get the rain/thunder on Sunday!

It's possible. It's definitely due this week.

Thunderstorms have hit southern parts of the UK with one confirmed tornado in Aldershot.

More storms and heavy rain are expected over the weekend with yellow Met Office warnings in force.

On Saturday there is the risk of lightning, intense rainfall, hail and gusty winds across Wales, central and southern England.

By Sunday, further heavy rain will spread with continued risk of localised flooding and travel disruption.

Monday:

Amber warning or rain

Midlands
Hull across to Gloucester
Stoke across to Peterborough


An area of heavy rain is expected to develop across central and southern
England during the early of hours of Monday, edging north and west and then
becoming slow-moving somewhere across the warning area for several hours. It
will then weaken and move away eastwards later Monday evening and
overnight.

Not all counties within the warning area will be equally affected, but it seems
likely that some areas will see 60-80 mm and a few places may receive 100-
120mm or more. This is likely to result in travel disruption and some flooding.
