A rainstorm is observed over northern Benin stretching to southeastern Burkina Faso. The storm is expected to continue it's movement towards the southwest to affect northern Ghana. Moderate to heavy rains with thunder and gusty winds are expected to be experienced within the northern sector later this morning into the afternoon. The storm is expected over the Northeast and Upper East regions between 10:30 UTC and 13:00 UTC before drifting to the Northern, Upper West, and Savannah regions later. Cases of cloudiness with varying intensity of rain are likely to preceed the storm's arrival.

Residents in this region should avoid outdoor activities in the evening. During the thunderstorm, stay indoors and away from windows, unplug electrical appliances to prevent damage from lightning strikes, and avoid using corded phones or electrical devices connected to outlets. If caught outdoors, seek substantial shelter immediately. Drivers should exercise extreme caution by reducing speed, using headlights for visibility, and avoiding flooded sections of roadway
