Weather warnings for thunderstorms come into force for the Isle of Wight tomorrow morning (Friday).

The Met Office and the Isle of Wight Met Service are also warning of rain.

Coming into place at 6am, until 12pm, the Met Office alert warns of a chance of flooding in some areas.

Driving conditions will also be affected from water on roads.

Disruption is expected on public transport, the forecaster said.

Local forecaster, the Isle of Wight Met Service, has also issued a warning, which comes into effect slightly earlier, at 4am.

Jamie Russell said: "An area of heavy showers with the risk of some torrential thundery downpours will develop during the early hours of Friday morning, potentially bringing the risk of some locally very heavy rainfall to the island.

"Although there is considerable uncertainty to where the downpours will develop with some of the models showing the risk of showers and thunderstorms developing just to the south of the Island and then moving across our area, but other models showing the showers and thunderstorms developing much closer to the Island or perhaps even to our north, missing the Island completely.

"For now we have reluctantly issued a warning to cover the former scenario."
