A yellow warning has been issued for parts of Jämtland, Västernorrland and Västerbotten throughout Sunday until 21:00 in the evening. There, heavy showers are expected, which can give up to 50 millimeters of rain in a short time, with a risk of flooding and traffic problems. Local thunderstorms can also occur, writes SMHI on its website.

The local variations are large and the showers are believed to mainly affect the western part of central Norrland in the evening.
