FORECASTERS are warning of the potential for flash flooding tomorrow morning as thunderstorms are expected to sweep the area. 

Following temperatures reaching highs of 31 degrees today, Tuesday, thunderstorms are expected to break out tomorrow morning. 

A Met Office spokesman added: "Whilst most places will miss the worst, please be aware of the risk of localised flash flooding.

"Frequent lightning, large hail and strong winds could be additional hazards.

"All of this could lead to some flooding of homes, businesses and transport networks. Disruption to power is also possible.

"Rainfall will be very variable, and the extent of thunderstorms is uncertain, but some places could see around 30 mm in an hour and more than 50 mm in a few hours."
