The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Harrogate and the surrounding areas today (Friday).
The warning mentions heavy rain and gusty winds, as well as potential thunder and lightning and localised flooding.
It will come into effect from 12pm until 8pm and is part of a wider alert covering much of Yorkshire and the Humber.
A second yellow weather warning then comes into effect from 9pm until 6pm tomorrow (Saturday).
It follows a build-up of warm, humid air that could lead to torrential downpours and sudden storm development during the afternoon and evening.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said.
“Thundery rain will reach the south of the warning area later Friday before spreading north to affect much of England through Saturday.
“Rain will likely be locally torrential, bringing 20–30 mm in less than an hour in many places, with 60–90 mm in less than three hours possible in a few places.”
