RESIDENTS have been warned to brace themselves for more thundery showers following last night's storm. 

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of rain from 2pm tomorrow, Thursday, to 11.50pm over Cheshire East which includes Knutsford, Wilmslow, Middlewich and Crewe.

Forecasters say slow-moving, thundery showers may lead to locally torrential downpours across the area, with the risk of frequent lightning.

A spokesman added: "Thunderstorms may break out in warm, moist air spreading up from the continent.

"Some locations could see 30-40 mm in an hour and where this falls on urban areas or main roads it could cause disruption to transport and possibly to power.

"The main risk period is during the afternoon and early evening, though a few thunderstorms are likely to rumble on into the night. 

"Please be aware that whilst many places will miss them, there is the risk of flash flooding."
