The heavy bouts of rain will cover roadways and may cause hydroplaning of vehicles that are traveling too fast for the weather conditions.
In addition, rain and fog may lower visibilities of the road ahead, impairing your ability to see other drivers on the road.
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and move across the Quad State region today and tonight.
Some areas may receive excessive rainfall that may cause flooding of low lying areas and ponding on roadways.
