A Met Office weather warning for the Isle of Wight has been updated to include Saturday morning (19).
A yellow warning is in place until 9pm tonight, with a second warning coming into force at 6am tomorrow until 6am Saturday.
The Met Office said about today's warning:
"Whilst for most overnight rainfall will gradually fade leaving a mostly cloudy picture during Thursday afternoon there is a chance that thunderstorms may develop. This is most likely over parts of East Anglia and southeast England though still only a small chance."
Thursday weather warning
Speaking about tomorrow's warning, the Met Office said:
"A spell of quite prolonged and often heavy rain is expected to spread northwards into parts of England on Friday though there remains uncertainty in how far northwest this progresses.
"This area of rain then clears away northeast on Saturday morning. Parts of East Anglia, the East Midlands and southeast England may see 20-40 mm of rain with a few sites potentially seeing 50-70 mm. However, many parts will see much less rainfall. Some thunder and lightning is also possible, particularly in East Anglia, the East Midlands and southeast England but heavy rain is the main hazard."
Thursday weather warning
Meanwhile, the IW Met Service has issued the following forecasts:
Today (Thursday)
A very humid and rather warm day ahead despite the cloudy conditions. There is still the risk of the odd shower this morning, but also a few brighter spells from time to time.
