Meteorological maps indicate the region will be affected by two consecutive low-pressure systems, bringing heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, and colder winter conditions.
In higher elevations, forecasts also point to the possibility of snow flurries during peak instability.
Authorities urged residents to avoid flood-prone areas and follow official safety guidance as conditions continue to evolve.
