The Met Office is expecting further thunderstorms to hit on Friday and Saturday.
Heavy, slow-moving showers, some thundery, may cause travel disruption and flooding in a few places.

“Not all locations will be affected by the heaviest showers, with some areas escaping much in the way of rainfall.
“However, where the showers do occur there is potential for a further 20-30 mm of rain in a relatively short time period and during the course of the day there is a chance that some places could see as much as 50-70 mm building up.”
While the thunderstorms shouldn't impact Gwent, they will hit neighbouring Powys.
The yellow weather warning will run from 10am on Friday until midnight on Saturday.
