Residents along the coast and in middle sector areas were also advised to prepare for scattered showers during the early hours.
Those living in forested and hilly terrain faced an additional hazard in the form of early morning mist and fog, which GMet said could significantly reduce visibility.
Motorists and pedestrians in these zones were urged to exercise caution, particularly during the early hours when weather conditions were expected to be at their most hazardous.
Conditions were forecast to ease as the day progressed, with sunny intervals expected to develop across the country during the afternoon hours. However, GMet cautioned that the respite would be temporary.
Thunderstorms were forecast to return to parts of the middle, transition, and northern sectors later in the day, bringing a second round of unsettled weather before nightfall.
Ghanaians travelling or commuting on Monday were advised to monitor conditions closely, particularly in areas identified as most vulnerable to the returning storms later in the day.
