Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected across much of the UK on Friday and Saturday. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Two Met Office yellow weather warnings have been issued which cover Flintshire and surrounding counties. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The first warning comes into play at 4am on Friday through to midnight, the second is from 4am Saturday also through to midnight. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Here is what the Met Office says about Saturday’s weather warning : “Heavy showers are expected across much of the UK on Friday (and Saturday)” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Within the warning area these showers and thunderstorms will be slow-moving and may cause localised surface water impacts.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“Rainfall totals will vary considerably and not all locations will be affected by the heaviest showers.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“However, where the showers do occur there is potential for 20-30 mm of rain in a short space of time and during the course of the day there is a chance that some places could see as much as 80-100 mm build up.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
