Roads hazardous after heavy rain

Drivers are being urged to take extra on the roads after heavy rains have made driving conditions dangerous.

The Fire and Emergency Services Authority is advising motorists to slow down and turn their lights on.

The Weather Bureau predicts showers and isolated squally thunderstorms will ease to scattered showers early in the afternoon with some small hail possible during the evening.

FESA advises drivers to pull over and park with their hazard lights on if visibility becomes too bad and to be careful on slippery gravel roads.
