Derby hit by yellow weather warning with thunderstorms and hail set to smash Epsom track for biggest race of the year
DESTRUCTION DERBY Derby hit by yellow weather warning with thunderstorms and hail set to smash Epsom track for biggest race of the year Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Derby has been hit with a yellow weather warning - as the Met Office predict thunderstorms and hail are set to smash the Epsom track. Tomorrow's £1.5million race - the most famous Flat contest in the world - will see 19 of the most awesome three-year-old colts on the planet go to post. 2 Epsom Derby racegoers are set to be under a yellow weather warning on Saturday - when the world's most famous Flat race is run Credit: - 2 The yellow weather warning is in place for Epsom racecourse on Saturday But the thousands of punters set to pour into the Surrey track may be forced to watch from under their umbrellas. A downpour on Thursday changed the ground for Friday's racing on Ladies' Day to good to soft, good in places, and there is more rain set to fall overnight. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the racecourse on Saturday, starting at 9am and finishing at 6pm. The Derby itself, worth £900,000 to the winner, is due off at 3.30pm. A statement on their website read: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms may lead to some disruption to transport and infrastructure. "There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus." The warning covers most of the south of Britain and extends to mid-Wales in the west, up to Birmingham and down to Exeter. A Met Office spokesperson told Sun Racing: "There are still some uncertainties in the forecast for Saturday regarding the exact track and speed of the weather system impacting our weather that day. "However, we are confident that it will be a very showery day, with some heavy showers accompanied by thunder and small hail. "The uncertainty lies in where exactly the heaviest rain will fall. "That said, we can be pretty confident that it'll be an unsettled day with some heavy showers and thunderstorms, which could have an impact on conditions for the race." While an update from the track on Friday morning read: "There was 3.4mm rain on Tuesday afternoon. It was dry on Wednesday with 7mm rain on Thursday up to 8pm. "After some rain this morning (1mm) it is forecast to clear to a brighter, breezy afternoon with temperatures in the mid to high teens." More to follow.

Then there's the rather more serious issue of him having fatally shot a young officer and permanently injured his partner. Unsurprisingly enough, following this tragic turn of events, Morck is relegated to Department Q: a cold-case unit which was created as a publicity stunt. Although the force is thrilled to see Carl go, he soon sets about assembling a group of outcasts who are all keen to prove themselves. Yes, it does sound a bit like Slow Horses, which is quite the gauntlet for Netflix to throw. Only time will tell if it's worthy of comparison.
