The rain is expected to arrive tomorrow and continue into the evening, with between 30 and 40 millimetres falling in some places.
Flooding is possible in low-lying areas, the weather agency says. The still-frozen ground could also have a difficult time absorbing both the rain and melting snow.
There's also a chance of rain Monday, but skies should clear across the region by Tuesday.
