But in a new update, it has been revised down to run from 5pm until 3am tomorrow.
It covers a large section of the country - including almost the entire North, plus parts of Wales and the Midlands.
The update also saw the warning move into parts of south-east Scotland.
In these areas, the Met Office says people should expect 'scattered thunderstorms' which could have a dramatic impact - including flash floods.
A Met Office spokesperson said: "Whilst many places will likely remain dry and unaffected, scattered thunderstorms may develop during Saturday afternoon, lasting through the evening hours, moving northeastwards before eventually clearing to the North Sea by the early hours of Sunday.

"The most intense thunderstorms could produce frequent lightning, large hail and gusty winds, along with some heavy downpours for a time. This may lead to some surface water impacts in places."
Although the latest Met Office maps suggest much of the area hit by a weather warning could remain dry, residents across the entire area covered are being urged to be prepared for sudden thunderstorms.

Large hail and strong winds: Thunderstorms to spread across Atlantic Canada
Things are heating up across eastern Canada, and with that comes the risk of some severe thunderstorms Thursday into Friday. As the day progresses, residents of New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Newfoundland should brace for a significant weather system that is expected to bring thunderstorms, some of which could become severe. Meteorologists are predicting the development of storms this afternoon, which will continue into the evening hours, posing risks of large hail and strong wind gusts. DON'T MISS: The day starts with heat continuing to blanket New Brunswick and inland Nova Scotia, making it crucial for residents to stay hydrated and take precautions against heat-related illnesses. RELATED: As the day progresses, the atmosphere will become increasingly unstable, leading to the potential for severe thunderstorms. New Brunswick and Newfoundland are particularly at risk, with forecasters warning of conditions that could generate large hail and damaging winds. DON'T MISS: In addition, persistent rain is anticipated to continue from Thursday night into Friday, especially for the Avalon Peninsula, where rainfall amounts of 15-40 mm are possible. This could lead to localized flooding, so residents are urged to remain vigilant and prepare for wet conditions. As we move into Friday, Atlantic Canada will experience a shift in weather conditions. Cooler temperatures are expected across the region, providing some relief from the heat. However, the risk of scattered thunderstorms remains, particularly in the Maritimes. RELATED: As we navigate through these dynamic weather patterns, it is essential to stay informed and prioritize safety. Whether bracing for severe thunderstorms or enjoying cooler temperatures, being prepared can make all the difference. Below are a few thunderstorm safety tips to keep in mind throughout the summer: : If you hear thunder or see lightning, seek shelter indoors. Avoid windows and doors to prevent injury from flying debris. : To protect your devices from power surges, unplug electronics and avoid using corded phones during a storm. : Never attempt to walk or drive through flooded areas, as water depth can be deceptive and currents can be dangerous. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local weather updates and alerts. Use a battery-operated weather radio or a reliable weather app for real-time information. : Ensure you have supplies such as water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, and a first aid kit in case of power outages.
