**Met Office: Storm Headed Towards Wales Tonight**
The Met Office has issued weather warnings indicating a storm is on track to hit Wales later tonight. A yellow weather warning is in place for various parts of Wales from 4 pm until midnight as low pressure systems are expected to bring thunderstorms and heavy rainfall to the region.
According to the Met Office, the weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday shows that Wales will experience heavy showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures set to drop below freezing later in the week. The agency warns of potential flooding in homes and businesses within the warned areas, with 20 to 30mm of rain expected to fall within a short period.
The heavy rainfall may lead to disruptions on roads and railway lines, causing delays for commuters in the affected regions. Frank Saunders, a chief meteorologist at the Met Office, mentioned that areas in southern England and Wales are likely to experience thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rain and hail.
Initial concerns of the remnants of Hurricane Kirk hitting the UK have shifted, with forecasters now expecting the former tropical hurricane to veer south and possibly impact France and Spain instead of the UK. However, there are still worries about low-pressure systems bringing thunderstorms to parts of the UK on Monday evening and night.
The weather maps provided by the Met Office show the progression of the storm across Wales, with heavy rain expected to affect various regions throughout the evening. Tuesday is predicted to bring another day of sunshine and showers, with the possibility of more heavy showers and thunderstorms in central and southern areas.
As the week progresses, the weather is expected to remain unsettled, with rain and showers forecasted for most areas. Temperatures are set to decrease, with below-average temperatures expected from Thursday onwards. Night frosts are anticipated in some regions, and snowfall is a possibility for higher mountainous areas in Scotland.
In conclusion, Wales is bracing for adverse weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and potential disruptions in transportation. The public is advised to stay informed about the weather updates and take necessary precautions to stay safe during the stormy weather ahead.
