A yellow weather warning of rain has been issued by the Met Office for the whole of Nottinghamshire.
The warning starts at 6am on Thursday (June 6) and last for 24 hours, until 6am on Friday morning (June 7).
Thunderstorms are likely to develop across parts of England and Wales from Thursday morning before clearing east early on Friday.
While these storms may miss many places, where they do develop intense downpours are likely, bringing a low risk of sudden flooding of roads, transport routes, homes and businesses.
Lightning and hail may be additional hazards.
The chief forecaster’s assessment said: “Isolated thunderstorms are expected to push north across southern England early Thursday before developing across other parts of England and Wales during the early afternoon.
“25-30mm of rain may fall within an hour, perhaps 50mm in three hours, however such totals are likely to be very isolated with many places staying dry.
“Some intense showers and thunderstorms may continue overnight into Friday morning before clearing into the North Sea.”
