More thundery weather and rain storms set for Liverpool

There's set to be more heavy and thundery storms set for Merseyside today and tomorrow.

Forecasters predict yet another day of sunny spells and scattered showers, with potential for many of them to become thundery. Temperatures will remain warm with highs of 21C, making it feel muggy.

The unsettled conditions will continue into Friday, with a further risk of thunder. Showers will become less frequent later in the day, with drier days over the weekend expected.

This week’s repeating pattern of blustery showers will break for a time over the weekend, bringing many a drier day on Saturday. However, there is continued uncertainty stemming from the interaction of two successive tropical cyclones and how they will affect weather patterns in our sector of the Atlantic.

Paul Gundersen is a Met Office Chief Forecaster, he said: "The influence of low pressure - with associated thunderstorms and bouts of heavy rain - will continue to dominate this week, especially on Friday. Though the low pressure will finally move eastwards on Saturday, meaning that many will have a dry day with some sunshine.

"There is a risk of potentially very heavy rain for a time on Friday for eastern and north-east England and southern Scotland. Adding in the risk of thunderstorms - which could bring gusty winds and heavy downpours where they form - many can expect an unsettled week.

"During autumn, forecasters have the added complication of trying to estimate the impacts of ex-hurricanes when they work their way into the North Atlantic. Although the cooler conditions outside of the tropics cause them to decay quickly, they can bring disruption to weather patterns by bringing lots of moist and relatively warm air which often becomes entrained within other home-grown weather systems."
