Thundery showers are forecast for today around 12 pm until 10pm in the evening across Fife and Clackmannanshire areas, giving daily totals around 30mm.

As soon as more information becomes available this message will be updated.

Please continue to keep an eye on the situation in your area and listen to local radio and television for further information
