On Friday, SAWS had issued a level 4 yellow thunderstorm warning, set to impact parts of the country this weekend.
SAWS confirmed that central and southern Free State, extreme northeastern Northern Cape, and eastern interior of Eastern Cape were expected to bear the brunt of the thunderstorms on Saturday.
The heavy rains could lead to localized flooding of roads, bridges and low-lying areas.
The expected floods could result in difficult driving conditions on dirt roads and minor motor vehicle accidents due to slippery roads and reduced visibility.
Thunderstorms are also expected in Gauteng, with the heavy rains starting on late Friday afternoon in the southern region, while the entire province is expected to experience the same weather in the evening on Saturday and early Sunday morning.
