"A slow moving line of showers and thunderstorms will bring downpours to the region (Friday)," the weather alert said.
"Local rainfall amounts near 50 millimetres are likely this morning and into this afternoon, especially in areas that receive more than one thunderstorm in a row."
Communities affected include:
Manitouwadge - Hornepayne
Marathon - Schreiber

"Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible," the weather alert said.
"Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected."
