Weather set to be mixed bag in Lancashire over Bank Holiday weekend
The county is set to see sunshine, showers and some longer spells of rain.
A typical springtime mix of weather is likely for Lancashire over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The county is set to see sunshine, showers and some longer spells of rain over the next few days.
For many, Saturday will be the best day of the Bank Holiday weekend, with temperatures reaching 19C in Preston.
Persistent heavy rain is then set to fall over large swathes of the county until Thursday and on Sunday, a yellow weather warning for a thunderstorm has even been put in place for the whole of Lancashire.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris said: “Sunday will have a mixture of sunny spells but also scattered, heavy and in places thundery downpours.
“Not everywhere will see them but where they do occur there is a small chance of some temporary issues such as flooded roads.
“The outlook for Bank Holiday Monday is for brighter, cooler and breezier conditions with scattered showers for England and Wales at first, but a steady drying trend from the west is likely.”
Temperatures overall are expected to be around the average for the time of year, but it will feel warm in any longer spells of sunshine, particularly on Saturday.
