Met Office issues yellow weather warning for Inverness with thunderstorms expected

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the area until 2pm today.

Thunderstorms are expected to develop over western parts of the UK and move northeast during the second half of Sunday night becoming organised into Monday morning.

Although not all parts of the warning area are expected to see them, an area of increasingly organised thunderstorms is likely to produce a combination of frequent lightning, heavy rain, hail and short periods of strong winds.

Some torrential downpours are likely, with 20-40 mm in places, and a potential for 40-60 mm of rain to fall in one to two hours.
