**Severe Storm Hits Attica: Stay Alert**
Heavy rain and lightning struck Attica early Friday, marking the onset of intense weather expected to persist through the weekend. Meteorologist Theodoros Kolydas has urged caution, warning of rapid rainfall accumulation in urban areas. As storms gradually weaken, other parts of Greece, including the Ionian, Cyclades, and Dodecanese, brace for rain and thunderstorms, with strong winds reaching up to 8 Beaufort. Authorities advise vigilance as unsettled weather continues into next week.
