The storms are expected to bring gusty winds of up to 70 km/h along with heavy rain and hail, while increasing the risk of lightning strikes and airborne debris, particularly between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.[1]. Drivers are advised to exercise caution, as the conditions could lead to aquaplaning and flooded roads. The break in the storms is expected to happen by nightfall, with calmer conditions forecasted for the days to follow[1].
