“The heaviest rain will ease later Saturday morning as the frontal system passes through.”
The national weather service is warning of water pooling on roads and possible localized flooding due to blocked drains.
“If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead, and be prepared to stop,” it adds.
