According to GMet, the weather system was already in motion at the time of the advisory rather than a projected development, signalling an active and rapidly evolving weather pattern.
Residents in the affected zones were advised to stay weather-aware as conditions were expected to deteriorate during the day.
The agency noted that communities in the transition and middle belts should also anticipate rainfall and storm activity as the system moved southward.
Coastal areas to see mixed conditions
For those along the coast and in nearby inland communities, the GMet forecast a different but equally notable pattern.
The advisory indicated that the morning and early afternoon would bring a combination of sunshine and cloud cover, before thunderstorms or rain developed later in the afternoon and into the evening.
The agency urged residents across all affected zones to factor the forecast into any plans involving outdoor events or travel.
