Newark and Sherwood: Yellow weather warning for thunderstorms issued for this week

A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued across Newark and Sherwood and the county for later this week.

Slow-moving and thundery downpours may cause localised surface water impacts on Friday and Saturday, says the Met Office.

There is a small chance this could lead to homes and businesses being flooded, with damage to some buildings from flood water.

It also stated that where flooding or lightning strikes occur, delays and some cancellations to train and bus services could occur.

Road closures and challenging driving conditions are possible.
