00:00Hello there, there's some thunderstorms in the forecast over the next 24 hours.

00:04Let's take a closer look at the detail. So far this morning we've seen outbreaks

00:08of rain and showers push up from the south. Some of them have been thundery

00:12across the south coast. And it's quite cloudy out there as well this morning

00:16and that cloud will linger as we head through the rest of this afternoon.

00:20The best of any sunshine will be across northern Scotland. Some brighter spells

00:23also possible across parts of Wales and the Midlands as well. And where we get

00:28the best of any sunshine temperatures could be as high as 23 degrees in the

00:32south today. Still some showers pushing in from the south though and we could

00:35still see a few thunderstorms along the south coast. As we head through this

00:39evening and overnight those thunderstorms become more widespread

00:42and we have a yellow thunderstorm warning in force across South Wales and

00:46southern counties of England. Locally we could see some frequent lightning, hail

00:50and some very heavy downpours. So first thing on Monday is a cloudy picture and

00:54those showers continue to push their way northwards but they will become less

00:58thundery as the morning goes on. Into the afternoon we hang on to a lot of

01:02cloud across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England. But further south

01:05we should see some warm sunny spells and a few heavy showers still in the

01:09forecast too. Looking ahead to next week low pressure in the west tries to work

01:14its way in and that will bring some heavy outbreaks of rain to western areas.

01:18Further east we hang on to the drier weather under the high pressure and we

01:21could see temperatures as high as 27 on Tuesday. For more details tune in later.

01:26Take care.
