Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to redevelop this afternoon and into this evening. Plenty of moisture in the atmosphere will allow for localized torrential downpours.

Creeks and streams may become fast moving as a result of heavy downpours in some areas. Motorists are advised to exercise caution under the heavy downpours due to the risk of hydroplaning.
