The regions forecast to bear the brunt of the storm on Monday are mainly in the western, central, and southern parts of the country where heavy rain and storms will be significantly intense in the afternoon, with local hailstorms also precited.

The areas expected to receive the largest volumes of water are Thessaly (mainly the counties of Trikala and Karditsa), Central Sterea (counties of Evritania, Fokida, and Fthiotida) and Northern Peloponnese (mainly the counties of Achaia and Corinthia).
