The warning reads: “Heavy rain and thunderstorms may lead to some disruption.

“Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. There is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads. Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

“There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds. There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.

“Areas of heavy rain and some thunderstorms will spread north and west across parts of Northern Ireland early on Saturday morning. The rain will turn more showery in the afternoon and there will be a risk of thunderstorms.

“Rainfall will vary across the warning area and some places missing the heaviest rain. However, where heavy rain occurs, 15-30 mm of rain is likely and a few areas may perhaps see 30-50 mm falling in a few hours. Gusty winds and hail may also accompany some of the thunderstorms.”
