A SEVERE weather warning for rain has been issued for Oxfordshire.

The Met Office issued the yellow warning due to the possibility of thundery showers causing disruption to local transport and outdoor activities.

People have been warned to remain ware of the potential of spray and standing water on roads, as well as possible road closures.

The warning is in place from 11am tomorrow until 9am on Sunday.

A yellow warning is the lowest level of warning that the Met Office can issue and calls on people to be aware.

Chief forecaster Eddie Carroll said: "A frontal zone associated with very warm and moist air will move northwards during Saturday.

"It will become slow moving over central areas of England and Wales later Saturday, persisting overnight, before slowly easing away to the east during the course of Sunday morning.

"There remains a lot of uncertainty in where the heaviest and most prolonged thundery showers will occur, with some places in the warning area having only small amounts of rain,

"However, there is a risk of some locally large rainfall totals, with 25 to 50 mm of rain possible in places."
